    Good one! If the moon wasn’t visible at the time and you were just sitting outside say at midnight, I wonder if you would notice anything different.

      It would turn pitch black. So dark the stars far away would be the brightest when compared to everything else. It would be scary.

        According to astronomers the sun doesn’t have a measurable effect on the night sky when it’s more than 18 degrees below the horizon. So I doubt naked-eye observers would notice.
