The other stars do not appear as bright as the sun because they are much farther away. Even the closest stars apart from the sun are hundreds of thousands of times farther away. In terms of actual brightness, some stars are brighter than the sun.

Where did the stars go during the day?

They are still there. But the light from the sun diffuses through the air around the earth, and the air becomes so bright that it drowns out the light of the stars. If you go to a place where there is no air ... like the International Space Station or the moon ... you can see the stars even when the sun is also in the sky. in other words the light from the sun makes it look like the stars disapeared : )
