Why the night is black?

Why sky is black at night when there are stars?

  • supposingly stars which we can see them at night, shine like our sun that their light go in all direction. If this is the case, why our shy is dark at night while we have hundreds and thousands of stars above us?

  • Answer:

    Because they are so insanely far away that they don't light up the whole sky. It's like a car headlight all the way down at the end of the road as opposed to one right next to you.

There is more dark matter in the universe than there is light. Would you see the sky light up with your flashlight?

the sun is facing away from us at night and that is our source of light. the stars at night are too far away from us too be a source of light for us. that is why the sky is black at night when there are stars.

during the day, the nitrogen in the air reflects the blue from our sunlight, so the sky is blue. during the night, the other stars are so far away, the light scatters and is absorbed by particles and dust in outer space. try this, shine a flahslight directly in your face, (close like our sun) now shine twenty flahslights from the other end of a football field. (light doesnt combine like water or gas)
