Question

why the space is black?

Answer 1

Here is your answer.....

where there is no light then there is darkness. this means that a surrounding without light would be black in color. Our experience here on Earth (one common example, night and day) tells us that the color black  indicates the absence of light. However, space (or outer space) contains countless of bright shining stars including our Sun. Our Sun is not even the largest or brightest star in the universe, very far from it. Space as we can see, including our solar system, is surrounded with light. In spite of this however,space still remains (looks) pitch black.

on earth however, we have what is called daylight. daylight is the time after sunrise and before sunset and is the condition of brightness created by the rays of the sun. This brightness is a combination of all direct and indirect sunlight. daylight produces a visual sensation that allows us to see our entire surrounding (environment) in its form and colors, such as, the beautiful blue sky, puffy white clouds, flowers of all variety and colors, as well as, all the other beautiful objects surrounding us in our day to day life in our environment.

the earth is surrounded by a gaseous envelope called the atmosphere. Apart from the layer of gases , the atmosphere also contains moisture (water droplets) and dust particles. The light from the sun hitting these “obstacles” in the atmosphere (air) causes light to reflect and refract. The reflected (bouncing off) and the refracted (deflected when the light go through a substance) rays illuminates our surroundings allowing one the power to perceive by sight (see) the world in its splendid colors.

I hope it helps you ^_^

Answer 2

At night, when that part of Earth is facing away from the Sun, space looks black because there is no nearby bright source of light, like the Sun, to be scattered. where there is no light then there is darkness. this means that a surrounding without light would be black in color. Our experience here on Earth (one common example, night and day) tells us that the color black  indicates the absence of light. However, space (or outer space) contains countless of bright shining stars including our Sun.
