Scattering of light is the phenomenon that causes the sky to appear blue. Fine dust in the earth's atmosphere scatters the sunlight. Out of all the constituent colours of sunlight, blue colour is scattered the most. Thus, the sky appears blue to us. However, an astronaut in space does not have an atmosphere surrounding him. Thus, there is no question of scattering of light. Thus, the sky appears dark instead of blue to an astronaut.

The sky appears blue when the scattering of light takes place through the atmosphere.The blue color of the sky is due to scattering of light from the atmosphere.As there is no atmosphere in space and hence light does not scatter into its constituent colors that is why the sky appears dark instead of blue to an astronaut in space.
