The sky is dark at night because the Earth turns, causing one side to go into the shadow of the Earth, making the sky dark.
Comment : I think this question is about "Olbers' Paradox". The answer is still a bit controversial, but most astronomers agree that the sky is dark at night because of the "Big Bang" that started our Universe.
The most important facts involved in the explanation are:
1) The Universe began about 13.7 billion years ago.
2) The Universe has been expanding since it began.
3) Light has a finite speed.
Look for "Olbers' Paradox" if you want a detailed explanation. In fact Wikipedia
has a useful page called simply "Olbers' Paradox".
