During the “day” on the Moon (that is, when the Sun is visible), you see a black sky and the stars are clearly visible. During the day on the Earth, you see a blue sky and no stars. Account for this difference

During the day the stars are still there, you just can't see them because the sky is so bright. For example, it's a lot easier to see the glow of a candle in the dark than in the light.
It is always hard to sense small changes to something that is already big to start with. For example, in a noisy room you probably can't hear a dripping faucet, but when everything else is quiet then you can hear the drip, even though the dripping hasn't gotten any louder. Its just easier to hear something soft in a silent background, than it is to hear something soft in a noisy background.
In the same way it's easier to see the dim starlight with a dark background than it is to see the same dim starlight on a bright background
