How come we can’t see straight into space

Question

Why does the blues sky on a clear sky not us see through.

In: Earth Science

Answer 1

The sky is just as transparent during the daytime as it is at night (which is why we can see things like the Sun & Moon through the atmosphere). The difference is that the sunlight scattered in the atmosphere during the day is much, much brighter than any stars in the night sky, so their light gets drowned out like a whisper at a death metal concert.
