explain why the sky appears dark on the surface of the moon??

 Sky appears dark on the surface of the moon because it has no atmosphere and the outer space is clearly visible, moreover while standing on a bright surface like moon's crust we can't see the stars . You an check this fact yourself by standing under a streetlight during night time, you will not be able to see the stars.

because there is no atmosphere on surface of moon ,so no scattering of light takes place and hence it appears dark. even if earth had no atmosp. sky would have been black for us.

itz becoz the scattering of light is not preominent at higher altitudes and there is no atmosphere.

Hope it helps.
