How is the moon still in the sky when it is day

The moon is still in the sky, it just isn't in the part of the sky that we see. When it becomes day, a different part of the Earth is rotated so that it is able to see the moon, and it is night for them.

why does the moon have different colors

Because it is made out of different gases

The moon has a radius of about 1,079 miles, which is about a quarter of Earth's radius. The moon's volume is 1/50th the size of the Earth.

How long dose it take for it to be a full moon?

After you see a full moon, it will take one lunar cycle, around 29.5 days, to see the next full moon.

How many moons are in the milkyway galaxy?

From NASA'S knowledge, there ought to be 10 Billion planets in our galaxy, so there ought to be 10 Billion moons too.

how close the moon is to the earth

It's about 238,900 miles.That's so far away right?
