Why cant you see the stars during the daytime?

The light emitted from our own star, the Sun, is scattered within our atmosphere and creates the blue sky we see during the day. This blue sky is not as bright as our Sun, but is brighter than the light we receive from other stars. Hence the scattering of light obscures our view of the stars.


Why other stars than the Sun are seen only at night and not during daytime?

The illumination of the sky during daylight is much brighter than that of most stars. But, if you know EXACTLY where to look, you can (with your eyes or a telescope) see some bright stars during parts of the day when the Sun is not too high in the sky.


WHY stars shine in night time where as not in day time?

Stars shine at nighttime but not in the daytime because it is dark. During the day the sun is bright which blocks the light from the stars. Once the sun is down and the sky is dark, it is easier to see the glimmer.


Why can't you see the moon in daytime?

You can sometimes. You can't see the moon in the daytime, because the sun is in front of it, and it is too bright just like you can't see the stars in the day. I hope that helps!

There still there you can't see it because the star is a sun and in light you cant see a small peace of sun so its still there but you can't see it.
