In the daytime the question people may ask is "Why is the sky blue?"
This has been answered pretty good. but why is the night sky black? Why isn't it white? There are so many stars emitting photons that the entire sky should appear white. Yet it is black. Evidently the billions and billions of stars and galaxies do not produce enough visible photons to make the sky white. Why? What is a photon?
As I see it, the stars emit spherical light waves. there are not photons. Photons occur when a spherical light wave interacts with matter. Spherical light waves are invisible. You cannot see them. All that you can see is when a little piece of the spherical light wave interacts with matter. Thus the light from all the stars is quite invisible. We only see a little piece of the light and thus the sky is black. Any other solutions?

OK so build a sphere with a single aperture. Coat the interior with a reflective surface. Embed in that surface light detectors at regular interval. Wire the detectors up to a device fitted into the aperture. The device can then emit a single photon into the sphere. If light is a spherical wave then multiple detections will arise from the single photon. I await the results with anticipation.

And there you are wrong, as evidenced by the fact that the sky is black.
Always a good idea to test your hypothesis against an observation.

Hmmm, incorrect , the sky is not black, the night sky is clear, the light that reaches you from the distant stars is too weak to make it light, A snake see's light in the night time darkness by the ambient light from the distant stars or moon light.

Its not black or white , it is clear. see through, clarity. colourless

Observer effect if you are using a device to release a single photon, ''photons'' are released isotropically , ''photons'' passing through space are a quanta whole to sight in the very fact space is see through.

That would not work. I guess I did not make myself clear. The single photon is a linear/angular momentum form of photonic energy. It is a perturbation within the gravitational field. The sun constantly emits linear photons from their atoms. As the photons leave the surface of the sun, they combine into a spherical wave which continually enlarges. Whenever this wave comes upon atoms part of the wave is converted into linear/orbital photons. Most of the wave remains a spherical form of energy which is invisible.
So any experiment you have using things made of atoms operates as ordinary photons. In between the sun and Earth there are continuous changes to the spherical wave as photons are produced and these turn back into the wave.
Thanks for pointing out my imperfect presentation. Hopefully this will help.

It seems to me if the light was in the form of photons there would be so many of them that the night sky would be while everywhere. The astronauts do not see that and therefore in my opinion, the light everywhere is invisible except where it reacts with matter. think about it.

If the density of particles in the vacuum of space was high, the sky everywhere would be white. You are correct when you say the sky is clear. the point I am trying to make is that the spherical light waves only produce photons when they react with atoms, electron, and protons, etc. The clear far sky with nothing within it does not produce photons. Spherical momentum waves when they interact with matter produce linear/angular momentum photons. Yes the far stars are quite weak and the spherical wave that they emit is as large as their distance from us. Thus we only see a very little piece of the far star. If the vacuum has many particles within it, even our sun would light up the night sky. So the problem is the spherical nature of the light wave and the density of particles of space beyond our atmosphere. Thanks for your input.

Yes. That is true. I hope in my other replies I have made my points better.

It sounds to me like you are trying to explain this

I find your explanation interesting.
It seems that your original question is something that has baffled many for a long time, they have called Olbers' Paradox.

I seem to recall long ago that some people wondered why the sky was black at night. It is only since last December that I rewrote my "Doppler Space Time". People seemed to like it but some top physicists felt that it was not mathematical enough and did not answer their questions. So after my surgery I decided to revise the explanations and not the equations. Then I came to realize the missing link. Spherical momentum constantly changes into linear and orbital momentum. The math would be difficult but the concepts are easy to understand. So now I have 4 university physicists studying my "The Gravitational wave and the dot-wave theory". I hope to get more from my emails. Some are annoyed by my emails. Some are pleasant and wish me good luck. Thanks for your comments.
