What makes dark outside?
The sun’s light pours outward to illuminate every portion of our solar system so that the space around the sun is almost entirely flooded with light. But there are dark places.

Why is nighttime so dark?
During the day, sunlight floods our atmosphere in all directions, with both direct and reflected sunlight coming to us from everywhere we can see.
