Equator is not the word you are looking for. Terminator is the term for transition to night to day.

The colour of the sky might be green instead of blue. A tidally locked planet is likely very close to its star, and for such a close planet to be habitable the star has to be dark and will probably be cold. A sky around such a star is most likely to be green.
If there are moons, they'll be much less conspicuous than Earth's moon unless they are close in. Large moons will prevent tidal locking, so you can't have one around such a planet.
Clouds would depend on the atmospheric conditions of the planet. Hard to say.

do yall think these seem realistic, at least in terms of color/placement of color? any other ideas about the sky of such a world?
