If there were no air or dust, we would see the stars both day and night.  The sky wouldn't be blue.  It would look jet black.  With no dust or air, there wouldn't be any twilight.  When the sun went down, we would have total darkness.  Air and dust help us to see:

• darkness
• color
• distance
• black night
