The sun is not visible at night because at that time we are on the side of Earth facing away from it. Other stars are not visible during the day because they are hidden by the light of the sun scattered through the atmosphere.

Why are we able to see the moon and the other planets?

We are able to see the Moon, other Planets and even the Sun. The Sun make this possible through its light, even at night. With the help of a powerful telescope we are able to see distant galaxies, distant stars that don't exist anymore, we are seeing only its light which is still travelling.


Why does a telescope work at night?

Telescopes do not normally work well at night, unless you happen to be looking at stars and other planets. This is because the stars do not depend on our Sun shining on them to be bright. Think of the stars as you would, say, a row of flashlights a block away. With the naked eye with no moon or streetlights, you may not be able to see much farther than 15 or 20 feet, yet those flashlights at the other end of the block are very easy to see. The stars are similar: they make their own light, and you can see them a looong way away.

Would you be able to see luminous stars in a clear night sky?

Stars are nothing more than individual sun's just further away. If the star we call the sun was further away, it would appear as a star in the night sky.The stars shine all day and all night (same as our sun) but because the light from our sun is so strong (due to the relative closeness) the light of the further away stars are blocked during the day time. At night, when the sun's light is not visible, we will be able to make out the fainter light of the stars.You can experience the same at night by watching a faint light down the road. When a car with bright front lights approaches the fainter light will be more difficult (or impossible) to see until the car has passed by, and you will again be able to make out the fainter light against the dark surfaces.


When are you able to see Mars?
