Question

Why does the sky appear black at night even though there are stars?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

there's so far away they're not as bright

Answer 3

Cause sun is the only nearest star. Rest are too far away for lightening the sky at night

Answer 4

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)

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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.
