Why Is The Sky Dark At Night?
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".
