why the sky appears blue in day time while black at night?

The sky appears blue in day time because the molecules in the air scatters blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light.

The sky appears black at night because there are no scattered light to reach the eyes of an observer during the night. We get a clear (view of space, which is black.
