The sky looks black at night but in reality it is not black. There is not enough light to stimulate the color-sensitive cones in our eyes. Space looks black because there is no nearby bright source of light, like the Sun, to be scattered at night time. If you were on the Moon, which has no atmosphere, the sky would be black both night and day.
