&gt; 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.<p>No, it never goes to zero, it just gets fainter.  An infinite number of small numbers adds up to infinity.<p>&gt; 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.<p>As the article mentions, the sky is black because we cannot see infinity.  We can only see the observable universe.
