The more there is the less you see
Common Wrong Answers
“Light”
Light allows us to see, so the more light there is, the more we can see, which contradicts the riddle.
“Fog”
While fog can obscure visibility, it doesn't inherently mean that more fog equals less visibility in the same way that darkness does.
“Shadows”
Shadows are created by light and objects blocking it, and their presence usually implies some level of light, whereas darkness itself is the absence of light.
