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.

Yes, it is possible to see stars in the daytime, but they are usually not visible due to the brightness of the sun. However, some stars, like Sirius and Canopus, are bright enough to be seen during the day under certain conditions, such as when the sky is clear and the sun is low on the horizon.


Why can't we see the star in the daytime?

The atmosphere is way too bright. - However, you can see bright stars, or planets, if you know exactly where to look. I have often seen planet Venus during the daytime, even at noon. However, the sun is a star, so one star is easy to see in the daytime (not directly!).


Why do meteorites appear only at night?

Simply, they dont. They are just more visible at night than during daylight hours. Just as the stars are still there in the daytime you cant see them because of the light level of the sun in the atmosphere is greater than that of the stars. We get the same number of meteors in the daytime as we do at night. Many smaller meteors just dont burn bright enough to be visible in the daytime sky. A meteor is in the sky, a meteorite is a meteor that has made it to the Earths surface. See the related link for more details.
