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.
What objects do you see in the night time sky?
the moon, stars, planets, sometimes shooting stars and yea that's about it
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!
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).
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 can not we see stars during 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.

Why are the stars smaller than the moon?
Stars are smaller than the moon because they are further away. They're not actually smaller, its just because they are so far away. Stars are actually very large.
What person studies the moon stars and planet?
An astronomer or astrophysicist would study the moon, stars, and planets - of course they may study more than just those.
