Different constellations, groupings of stars, are visible during different points in the earth's elliptical cycle. So, on some nights, the angles between the stars and earth do not allow for a good view of certain constellations. Another factor in visibility of cosmic structures is the fact that the moon is considerably larger and closer than many stars. Light pollution also accounts for obscuring the view of many stars and constellations.

Can you see the moon and stars at day time?

You can see the moon sometimes


Why can't I see the stars when I can see the moon?

Sometimes the brightness of the light from the moon drowns out the star's light.


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!


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 can you see in the sky?

In the sky, you can see clouds, the sun, the moon, stars, and sometimes airplanes.


Why are stars near the moon?

You will find stars in every direction - both near the Moon, and in other directions. They are not really "near" the Moon; they just happen to be in the same direction.


When the sun is out why is the moon an the stars stilll out?

Stars and Moon are always there; only that sometimes, in the daytime, they are outshone by the Sun. However, the Moon, and some of the brighter planets (especially Venus), are visible even at noon (if you know exactly where to look).


What objects do you see in the night time sky?

In the night sky, you can see stars, planets, the Moon, constellations, and sometimes satellites or shooting stars. These objects appear as points of light against the dark backdrop of space and can be observed with the naked eye or with the help of telescopes or binoculars.


Is moon and stars are inside the earth?

No. They just look like they are.


Why are stars not as bright as the moon?

The stars are in fact brighter than the moon as many distant stars produce their own light (just like our sun) and the moon only reflects sunlight. However, since many of these stars are so far away and the moon is relatively close to the Earth the Full moon appears to be brighter.


Why there is always a stars with moon?

Stars are always present in the night sky, including when the moon is visible, because they are located far beyond our solar system. The moon reflects sunlight, making it bright enough to be seen alongside stars, which emit their own light. However, the moon's brightness can sometimes outshine fainter stars, making them harder to see. The visibility of stars varies depending on the moon's phase and the surrounding atmospheric conditions.


Why can we not see stars during the day time?

The sky is too brightly lit for stars to be seen. At pre-dawn, stars and the moon may just be visible. As the sun rises and the sky brightens, stars and the moon fades away.
