Sky appears black to an astronaut because there is no atmosphere in space and so there are no particles to disperse light from the sun. because there is no atmosphere to scatter light in the space. Because the sky is blue to us by the light being scattered through nitrogen.

The sky appears blue from earth because the light from the sun gets scattered by the dust particles and water vapor present in the earth's atmosphere and among all the light rays of different wavelengths present in polychromatic sunlight, the blue light scatters the most. In outer space atmosphere is absent and hence such scattering doesn't occur. Thus the outer space appears dark to an astronaut in space. read less
