Why Is Space Black?

from Explain it like I’m 5! Hosted by Kennie

If the Sun is so bright, why does space look completely black? In the first episode of Season 2, Kennie and his co-host Yaya explore one of the biggest mysteries of the universe. Discover why Earth's sky is blue, why astronauts always see a black sky, whether you can see stars during the daytime in space, and what makes space so different from here on Earth. By the end of this episode, you'll never look at the night sky the same way again. 🚀
