Why is the sky dark at night?

  I think the video is complicating the whole answer 😁. The sky is 'dark' in the night because there's nothing significant to scatter the light around, just like our atmosphere does. The objects that scatter the light are seen as the bright spots on the dark background; because they 'scatter' the light. I don't intend to challenge the logic presented in the video but I believe it's much complicated explanation.
  
  ...or am I just simplifying it too much?

  Bro in reality only the atmosphere scatters If I am not wrong then by your answer there is no atmosphere at night
  
  But I guess there is lesser intensity of Light falling into the earth's atmosphere at night and most of the incident light gets scattered out of the surface by the atmosphere and this makes an absence of light to reach the surface of the earth
  
  The absence of light is black which makes the surroundings look darker at night

  i studied that sun is static means it does not rotate but planet rotate on its axis and around sun ,at same time sun can not cover all part of earth.because of this in some part of earth there is day and other part enjoy dark.

  This was like my childhood biggest question why shadow are always black.
  simple explanation is if there is no light spectrum reflecting from that angle that will appear as black.

  Worth considering two assumptions
  

  The Universe is expanding, so distant stars are red-shifted into obscurity.

  The Universe is young.  Distant light hasn't even reached us yet.
