Why don't stars that are larger than the Sun completely light up the Earth's sky?
As light travels, it loses intensity. The stars are millions of times farther away from us than the sun, so when the light from those stars gets here, it is very dim. The sun is much closer, so it gives off much more light. This light overpowers the light from the stars, so they can't be seen during the day.

Why can't you see stars when you're up in a plane?
You cant see stars in an plane because of all the clouds blocking the viewAnswer:Nothing stops you from seeing stars in the night sky when you are in an aeroplane. You cannot see them in the daytime sky for the same reasons that you cannot see them in the daytime sky from the ground. The light from the sun interacts with the atmosphere to produce a scattering of light that overpowers the light from the stars. An aeroplane is only a few kilometers from the ground and still deep in the atmosphere of the earth.
