Answer:

Hey mate, hope this helps

Explanation:

The sky appears dark instead of blue to passengers because there is no atmosphere in the outer space that can scatter the sunlight. As the sunlight is not scattered, no scattered light reach the eyes of the passengers and the sky appears black to them.

Answer:

Explanation:

for understanding why it appears black to passengers at high altitudes, lets understand why it appears blue

part 1 - atmosphere has fine particles, which are capable of scattering blue coloured light ( which has low wavelength ) better than red coloured light ( which has long wavelength ). so when sunlight passes through atmosphere, the blue coloured light is scattered by fine eparticles, and this blue light reaches our eyes. so sky appears to be blue

part 2 - coming to question

at very high altitudes the atmospheric medium is not as prominent as at lower altitudes. so there is less atmospheric refraction. so light is not scattered. as a result sky appears black to passengers flying at high altitudes.

it is enough only to write part 2. part 1 is just for understanding
