Why is the sky blue in the daytime, but black and starry at nighttime?
It certainly has nothing to do with light passing through the Earth's atmosphere being reflected off of air particles which, like water, makes air seem clearer when you're not looking through as much of it but looks blue when you're looking through very much of it (through all the air above us or through to a mountain in the distance, which will appear bluish if it's far enough away).
No. Don't be stupid, air is perfectly clear of course. The reason that the sky is blue in the daytime is as follows:
Sonic. He's not actually a hedgehog video game character, but an amorphous blue deity. They took the likeness of the deity and made a character based on it for their games. The original Sonic (the fastest entity alive) is constantly circling our planet, way up above the clouds. Sonic the Deity is faster than Sonic the Hedgehog. The former can travel at not only the speed of sound, but at the speed of light. It is so fast that it's just a blue blur that appears to cover the whole sky because of how quickly and consistently it is circling the globe at all angles.
Why can we see outer space at night?
After so much going fast, Sonic the Deity gets tired. As the sun sets, it gets so tired that it forgets to stay blue and may lapse into an orange, purple, pink, or red color. Once the day is officially over, Sonic the Deity goes to rest in a bush 3.7 miles east of the house of Ellen Degeneres.
