Why Is The Sky Dark At Night?
Sponsored link:
If the universe is assumed to contain an infinite number of uniformly distributed luminous stars, then every line of sight should terminate eventually on the surface of a star and every point in the sky should be as bright as the surface of a star.
Looking at trees within a big flat wood in the direction of the horizon shows the effect: The mass of dark trees will hide the horizon. If you imagine the trees as bright stars, you can imagine the same effect leading to a sky that is uniformly bright.
This is known as "Olbers' Paradox" or "Dark Night Sky Paradox".
