understand the real reason it is even dark, at night.

Because the sun is on the other side of the planet? Do I win a prize?

“Because the sun is on the other side of the planet? “

Good guess, but not what I was talking about.

The ‘question’ refers to why (when the spot on the Earth ‘you’ are standing on, is facing away from the Sun), is the sky dark at all?

In the simplest terms, it has to do with the exact amount of ‘matter’ in the universe.

I think you can find articles that will go into more detail than I could, especially this late at night (I’m going to bed after I finish this post), by GOOGLING, “why is it dark at night”.
