Why do you still see the stars in the night sky that no longer exsiste?

They are so far away that the light they emit takes many years to get here. Distances that large are measured in light years. A light year is the distance that light travels in one mean earth year.

Some stars might no longer be in existence but you still see them in the night sky why-?
Some stars might no longer be in existence but one can still see them in the night sky because they are still active.
Some stars might no longer be in existence but you still see them in the night sky why?
Stars that are no longer in existence, or dead stars, may be still visible in the night sky depending on how far away the star was from earth. Light takes time to travel, so if a star is 50 billion lightyears away from earth, and it died 25 billion years ago, due to the amount of time it takes for the light to reach our eyes, the star's light will still be visible for another 25 billion years.
Do stars exist or are you just seeing the light from an exploding star?
The stars you see at night still exist.
Why stars are only seen at night?
Whether during the day or the night, stars are still there in the sky. It is that in daylight, it is impossible to see the stars and the moon due to the glare from the sky. Only during the darkness of night does stars and the moon becomes visible to the human eyes.
How can a star be in the east in morning and west at night?
Because the earth is rotating and the stars are still.
Do stars go out during the day but ignite at night?
No. They are still there, but you can't see them because of the sun. ( stars don't have light switches).
What is densest?
The densest stars are neutron stars; these are "dead stars", in the sense that they ran out of fuel and no longer convert energy. However, they still have a large amount of energy left over from the collapse, which they gradually emit.
What happen to the stars from 7 pm to 11 pm?
Whether we are in daylight or darkness, the stars are still there in the sky. It is just that in daylight, we can't see them due to the glaring sunlight. At night, 7 pm to 11 pm plus, in darkness on a cloudless night sky, we can see the stars brilliantly.

Why is it possible for a star that is no longer in space to still shine?
The phrase "star that is no longer in space" makes no sense, therefore your question cannot be answered.
How long does it take for light from other stars hits the earth?
From Toliman, it takes a little over 4 years. Other stars are farther away, so it takes still longer.
Why do Some stars that you see in the night sky are no longer there?
In principle the light from some stars takes a long time to arrive so the star might have disappeared and we would not know about it until the last piece of light reached us and then stopped. It's highly unlikely for the local stars we can see with the naked eye, but not impossible.
