“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”.

I'm going to drink some beer and sleep late myself. And go back to making money doing physics when I wake up.

And that the universe is expanding so that distant radiation is doppler shifted so far down in wavelength/energy that we can't even see it.
