The light is still there, but it does not scatter into blue sky like it does with Earth's atmosphere. That's why the sky looks black in outer space. But if you held up a piece of paper, it would be illuminated very brightly in the sun. The atmosphere refracts the light and scatters it all around the sky.
Essentially, in the vacuum of space, there is very little matter to reflect the sunlight radiated out through the solar system. A good example is a comet passing through the inner solar system. Gas and particles are thrown off the comet's head and form its wide "tail", which is then very brightly illuminated.
