On Earth, sunlight hits air and reflects in all directions, so your eyes see light everywhere.
In space, there’s nothing to reflect the light, so it looks dark.

Space is dark because it is a near-perfect vacuum, meaning it lacks matter (like air molecules) for sunlight to scatter off. While the Sun shines brightly, its light travels in straight lines; without an atmosphere or dust to reflect that light in all directions, the vast, empty space around us appears black.
Why Earth is Light and Space is Not
When sunlight hits Earth's atmosphere, it hits trillions of air molecules (nitrogen and oxygen), causing the light to bounce around and illuminate the surroundings. Without this "scattering," the sky—even during the day—would appear black, just as it does to astronauts looking from the moon.

If the sun is a ball of fire and there is no oxygen in space, than how is the sun still burning?

nothing for the light to reflect off of except nearby planets. stars are suns. I see them at night... wtf are you talking about?

Space is almost a perfect vacuum, so there’s nothing for the light to bounce off.

Because space is infinite, there’s no way you can light up something that has no end

Space is full of sunlight—photons stream from the Sun everywhere—but it looks black because there’s almost nothing to scatter that light toward your eyes. On Earth, our atmosphere’s molecules and particles bounce sunlight in all directions (Rayleigh scattering), filling the sky with blue light and making the ground bright. In vacuum, with no air or dust, light travels in straight lines and doesn’t get redirected; you only see it when it comes directly from the Sun or reflects off an object, so the background stays dark. We get daylight because sunlight reaches Earth’s surface and atmosphere, where scattering and reflection illuminate everything we see.

lol, you can't light nothing... if there's nothing but empty space then light won't even be seen in that space.
