  1. The ozone layer blocks and lot of ultraviolet light and scatters visible light a little bit.  ALL of the atmosphere glows a little bit during the day from sunlight.  You'd need to get rid of the air entirely to get rid of that effect.  Put simply, it's not the ozone layer that makes the sky blue.


  2. No because the atmosphere is still there. The ozone layer does have and effect on it through. The wost the ozone layer does is just blur it a little (very little).

  3. We do see it.  The sun is in space and sometimes the moon is visibble during the day as well.   We don't see most stars because they are washed out by the light of the sun.  However, you can see stars by day if you know where to find them. I once followed Jupiter through a cheap telescope in my front yard from just before sunrise until almost noon.  People thought I was crazy until I let them look through my telescope and they saw it for themselves.

  4. we do see space now

  5. No, the ozone layer is virtually transparent.  It has no effect on how well we can see into space.

  6. No.

    Space is non-matter. You can't see it. It doesn't reflect light.

  7. Of course one sees "space" anywhere, everywhere, and at anytime whether, or not, it's day, or night.  All ya hafta' do is look out at the sky and there it is, ups, that's the atmosphere (the ozone layer is just part of the atmosphere), but beyond the atmosphere, there it is "space", it's only about 8 minutes away from anyone on Earth.  That is to say that, if one were on the space shuttle and being sent into "space".   When one sees the moon, during the day, one is also looking at "space".  

    One of the only reasons that one doesn't see the stars, during the day, is that they are so far away and so very faint.  However, they (the stars) are there in the same place (well, almost, cause they don't move very fast).  We see them (the stars) at night cause it's dark out.
