There is no refraction and diffusion of light in space.. The Earth's atmosphere absorbs and diffuses the sunlight.. Thus, we see things because of the atmosphere. 1 Like 1 Share |

The vast distance in between is why...we are able to see these wide area of space, because we are so far away...if you get closer to the Sun, in the outer space of the cosmos...you will see the space around the sun is bright and very hot. It's due to distance of our viewing position. 3 Likes |

BluntCrazeMan: But the space is not completely empty. Also, must there be atmosphere before refraction and diffusion will occur? How come Moon can reflect Sun light is such a brighter way despite that it doesn't have a stable atmosphere compare to earth? 1 Like |

Emusan:Our galaxy is called milky way and it contains around 100-400 billion stars of which our own sun is among. The closest star to our sun is called proxima centauri. Out galaxy-milky way Galaxy contains uncountable number of planets as well 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yankee101:now what you said is true. but what you do not realize is the fact that the sun is just like that head lamp of a car, which is pointed at one direct at a time. this proves what I have been saying since that the sun is not a ball of burning gas, shinning on all directions, but a flat light shining in one direction and it has a sun spot/ pointer just like a torch light pointing directly at the equetorial regions. reason the equatorial regions are hotter 1 Like |

This question is borne out of curiosity. First, you need to understand that space as you called it is unimaginably vast. The sun is just like a little candle stick in a small portion of a part of you sitting room. You have many rooms in your house and their many houses in your estate with many estate in your city and so many cities in your state. Remember their are many othe candles in other rooms in your house and other houses and so on So ask yourself if that little candle in your sitting room can provide light to all other rooms in other houses in your street talk less of the rest of other estates and so on. The Sun (Sol) is the only star in our solar system Their are billions of other stars with other bodies within our galaxy (the milky way alone) and lastly their are billions of other galaxy within our universe.

Akalia: Waooo with around 400 Billions stars, there shouldn't be anything like night in our galaxy. |
Re: Why Is There Sun In The Space And The Space Is Still Very Dark by Emusan(m): 12:17pm On Apr 29 |
baretalk: So how do you know this? |
Re: Why Is There Sun In The Space And The Space Is Still Very Dark by Steep(m): 12:17pm On Apr 29 |
The sun is an average star and there are approximately 100 billion stars in the milky way galaxy. There are stars that hundreds of times bigger than the sun. There are approximately 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe, each having billions of stars in them. The observable universe is just a speck of the actual size of the universe which is currently unknown. 3 Likes |

xynerise:I don't think the sun is the smallest star but I sure do know that there are super giant stars which scientists have discovered example is the Stephenson 5:18. It is believed by space researchers that Stephenson 5:18 can fit upto 1 million of our sun. |
Re: Why Is There Sun In The Space And The Space Is Still Very Dark by Steep(m): 12:20pm On Apr 29 |
Emusan:That is because space is unimaginably large and it is expanding faster than the speed of light so that light from distant galaxies can never catch up. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Why Is There Sun In The Space And The Space Is Still Very Dark by Akalia(m): 12:22pm On Apr 29 |
Emusan:You missed it. Those other stars have their own solar systems in which a number of planets revolve around them in an order very similar to the 8 planets revolving around the sun in our solar system. Mind you the astronomical distance between these stars are mind blowing huge. Measured in light year. 1 light year is around. 5.88 trillion miles of distance. 4 Likes 1 Share |
