Most of the celestial objects we call stars are stellar bodies much like our sun. Our sun is a large mass of hydrogen. There is so much hydrogen gathered together in one place that it all holds together by its own gravity. So much, that its own gravity is crushing the atoms together. Not just together in a way like we normally see here on Earth when we view solids, but together so tightly that the nuclei touch. And tighter still, until the nuclei fuse together. This is called nuclear fusion. On Earth we only experience this event when a thermonuclear bomb is detonated. A thermonuclear bomb (H-Bomb) makes an atom bomb look weak. There is so much hydrogen in our sun that this explosion was been going on for millions of years and will continue for millions more before it burns out. And there are stars out there that make our sun look like a midget. Some of the things we call stars are the remains of some of these giants who ended their lives in an explosion beyond all comprehension called a super nova. Some of the stars aren't really stars at all but an enormous collection of stars called galaxies. All different and yet all the same because all that light comes from the same process ...... nuclear fusion.
What else can I help you with?
Why do stars appear in the night and not in the day?
The faint light of the stars is masked by the bright light of the sun.
Why do we usually only see constellations at night?
During the day, the Sun is out and brightens the sky. Since the Sun is so close to Earth (compared to the stars we see at night), the Sun's light overpowers the light coming from the distant stars. However, at night the Sun's light is not present to wash out the light from the stars, so the stars can finally be seen. The constellations that one sees at night arises from the groupings of various stars.
Why do you see the stars at night?
Stars are visible at night because the Sun has set, creating a dark sky that allows the stars' light to be visible. When it is dark enough, our eyes can adjust to the lower light levels and perceive the light emitted by distant stars in the night sky.
Is moon playing a great role in making stars visible to us in night?
No, the moon does not play a role in making stars visible to us in the night sky. Stars are visible because they emit their own light, while the moon reflects light from the sun. The moon's brightness can sometimes make it harder to see dimmer stars, but it does not directly affect the visibility of stars.
Does the sun give the stars light?
No, the sun gives light to the moon, but not the stars. the stars give their own light.
Do stars only produce light during the night?
yes stars produce light in the night like the moon. and the sun produces light and heat for the morning

Why can you see planets and stars on a night?
The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.
Is moon playing a great role in making stars visible to us in night?
No, the moon does not play a role in making stars visible to us in the night sky. Stars are visible because they emit their own light, while the moon reflects light from the sun. The moon's brightness can sometimes make it harder to see dimmer stars, but it does not directly affect the visibility of stars.
What is the difference between planets and stars in the night sky?
Stars give off light whereas planets reflect light.
What makes the sea of stars glow in the night sky?
The sea of stars glows in the night sky due to the light emitted by distant stars and galaxies. This light travels through space and reaches our eyes, creating the beautiful spectacle we see in the night sky.
Does the sun give the stars light?
No, the sun gives light to the moon, but not the stars. the stars give their own light.
Why are stars visable at night?
Technically the stars are always visible 24 hours a day every day of the week. Stars shine and always continue to shine until they die in a supernova. The stars are not visible during the day because the light of the sun outshines all the light provided by the stars. However, during the night, when the sun is on the other side of the Earth, there is not enough external light to outshine the light of the stars. As a result, the stars are easily visible. However, there are instances that can prevent one from seeing stars even at night. For example, the bright lights of New York City cast a huge glow on the horizon, preventing anyone from seeing the stars past a "light barrier" created on the horizon.
Why do you see stars in the night sky?
Stars are visible in the night sky because they emit light that travels through space and reaches our eyes on Earth. The light from stars is so bright that we can see them even from great distances.
Do stars and planets both make their own light?
No. The stars make their own light, but the planets only relect light from the sun.
