Why can you see clouds at night?
When the sun gives off light, the light is reflected off the surface of the planets and the moon, the color of the planet depends on which colors it absorbs and gives off, like the moon absorbs all colors except that greyish color, the grayish color is reflected back into space and when the light gets to earth, we see the color, and see the moon. This is the same for all planets and such. We can see planets during the day, they don't just disapear, but they are faint against the luminosity of the sun
When is it a full moon?

Does the sun hide behind the moon at night?
The moon rotates at the same rate it orbits us meaning that we always see the same side of the moon. Also, at any point in time the moon will be half light and half dark. Hints the name dark side of the moon, but don't think that dark side of the moon never sees light because when we have a new moon (causing a self- shadow) the side of the moon we observe is dark and the opposite side is lit up by the sun. The reason why the moon's phase changes is because portions of shadow and light due to the angle at which we observe the moon changes as it rotates around the earth.
