Is it dark in space?...........?

It depends where you are. If your near the sun, than it will be sort of bright, but you would also burn.

If you were Just randomly floating through the solar system, it would be dark, just like the night sky, except with a lot more star.

Actually, this is an interesting question. I'm no physicist and can't give you a real answer, but the fact is that, if the universe is infinite, no matter which direction you look in your line of sight should, sooner or later, encounter a star. The night sky should, therefore, be filled with light. That it isn't is, I think, something to do with the fact that the universe is expanding. The farther a star (or galaxy) is away from us, the faster it is receding from us and the more attenuated is the light from it (the Doppler effect). Something along these lines explains why most of the night sky is dark. Sorry can't be of more help - you'll have to hope a physicist or cosmologist supplies an answer for you.

Well, ..., on earth the atmosphere is very dense ~10^9 particles per cm^3. Earth's dense atmosphere causes incoming light form the sun to scatter creating the diffuse lighting (the blue skies and fiery orange sunsets) that we all love and and enjoy. In space, however, it's a very different story. The atmospheric density (yes there is an atmosphere) is ~10^3 particles per cm^3. This creates less light scattering resulting in your seeing space as black.

There is no atmosphere to scatter the light to make it appear as if you are surrounded by it so all you see is the light going directly into your eyes from radiating bodies. Everything around a source of light is black. So it's dark in space unless you are looking directly as a big source of light, then it's pretty bright.

Depends on where you are.

The "sky" all around you is dark, but dotted with the faint light of distant stars. However, the sun is very bright. We're close enough to it that it appears very bright. If you're in orbit and on the dark side of the planet, it would be very dark, because you are in a shadow. If you were outside of the solar system it would also be very dark. The farther you go, the darker it gets.

No. The reason empty space is dark is because there is no substances to reflect or create light. Even though light from distant galaxies and stars is passing through empty space, there is nothing to absorb or reflect the light. The only reason one can see the planets when they look at the night sky, is becouse it is reflecting light from the sun. So Because there is nothing to reflect light, empty space in black.

Not the way it is at night on Earth. There's no atmosphere to spread the light, so the background looking away from the sun(for example) is black (empty). Anything in shadow tends to be black (empty). So, one could say that is it very dark. However, almost any light source does highlight what it falls on.

It's not dark in the places illuminated by sunlight. All those stars give off light. If you're near one, it's pretty bright. Though there is no clear blue sky. That is a product of our atmosphere.

I know this may be a stupid question, but is it dark in space?
