The Suns light only shines so far. Consider if you will a torch the closer to it you are the brighter it appears but its actually luminosity does not change. The same principle hold for the Sun. The closer to it you are the brighter it appears. Interstellar Space is enormous, all the those stars you see in the night sky are Suns of a kind, yet they are that far away that they cannot light up the night sky like our Sun does during the day.

Why the universe is black as the sun is present in the universe?

The Universe appears to be dark because space (meaning nothing), contains no matter for the sun to shine on. Also, another reason is that the universe is so large that, if you were to even try to look at the edge of the universe from outer space, the light would not exist beyond a certain point (because of the measurement of lightyears, and the never ending radius of the universe that is expanding). Thus, the universe is black.

Just as God can stay in heaven and send Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to Earth.
