If our Universe were infinite both in size and age, then our entire sky would, by necessity, be filled with light at all times. That it is not is Olber's Paradox -- and indication that our Universe must be finite in either size or age. The Big Bang was a hypthesis that it was finite in age; and every prediction made by the BB that has been tested has supported the hypothesis.

Why the sky is dark at night?

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".

What is Olbers' paradox and how does it challenge the assumption that the universe is infinite and static?

Olbers' paradox is the question of why the night sky is dark if the universe is infinite and static. If the universe is infinite and filled with stars, then every line of sight should eventually end on a star, making the sky bright. The paradox challenges the assumption of an infinite and static universe because the night sky is not bright, suggesting that the universe may not be infinite or static.
