Answer
black
Reason — Unlike earth, which has an atmosphere that scatters sunlight in various directions, the moon lacks an atmosphere. As a result, there is no scattering of sunlight to create the blue sky that we see on earth. Hence, the sky in a direction other than that of the sun appears black to an observer on the moon.
