But stars are getting fainter and fainter as they are further and further away.  I get that there would be an infinite amount of them, but then it&#x27;s an infinite times a zero.  The limit is not obvious and I&#x27;ve never seen anyone discussing the actual maths of this.  I don&#x27;t know those maths, but it seems reasonable to me that since the sky is indeed black, then it has to be that it&#x27;s because the dimness of stars prevails over their number and&#x2F;or density.
