Because there is less background light, so the sky is darker. We see bright stars against the background of the sky. During the daytime when the sky is bright, we can't see the stars. They're THERE, they just aren't bright enough to be seen against the background of the bright sky.
City nights are bright enough that only the brightest stars are visible. Out in the country, away from the city lights, the sky is dark enough to really see the dimmer stars. - and the bright ones REALLY stand out.

How many constellations can be seen from the Middle East?
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) recognizes 88 constellations, but the constellations do not exist in the stars; they exist only in our own minds.

What is the sun if it gives its own light?
The sun is a star. It looks a lot bigger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to us than any other star, so it outshines them. That is why you don't see other stars during daylight, although they are there. The sun is too bright for them to be seen except before sunrise and after sunset, when only the brightest stars can be seen. As it gets brighter in the morning, less stars can be seen and as it gets darker in the evening more can be seen. If you know where and when to look, you can sometimes see stars starting to shine as it gets darker.
Why can't stars be seen from the moon?
They can be seen. The stars are not visible in picture taken from the moon because the exposure on the camera is set too low.
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.
