It is because the sun, wich is the closet star to our planet, light is more closely effecting us so we cannot see the other stars because the amount of the light from the sun. However, when the earth rotates, and we can no longer see the sun, the light of the stars is without competition for visibilitie in our planet's sky.

During the day, the brightness of the sun overwhelms the light from the stars, making them invisible to our eyes.


Why cant we see stars during the day?

The stars are not visible during the day because bight sunlight scattered by the atmosphere masks the relatively dim light of the stars.


Why do you see the sun in the day and you dont see the others stars?

because the light from the sun is so close to us and so bright it blocks out the light from the other stars. The only time you can see light from other stars during the day is during a solar eclipse.


Why cant you see the stars during day?

Stars do shine during the day. The reason we don't see them is that the light from the sun is much brighter than that of other stars on earth and therefore blocks out the light of other stars at daytime.We normally would see upwards of 2,000 stars in the night sky, but do not because artificial light sources like streetlights bounce light upward and block out the stars in a similar fashion.The answer lies in the behavior of light we call scattering, and in the way the eye works as light levels increase. Though the stars in the sky shine all the time, during the day, the sun is so bright and so much of its light is scattered in the atmosphere that the tiny points of light we see at night are not visible in all the scattered sunlight. The "incoming" light certainly gets to our eyes as the sun is so bright we can't look directly at it, but tons of light coming in is scattered by air and everything in the air that we get light coming at us "from all directions" up in the sky. The result is that the eyes cannot resolve tiny light sources that are stars. Another way to look at it is that the eyes are "overloaded" by all the scattered light from the sun, and they are "desensitized" by it. We will, therefore, not be able to see those tiny points of light during the day that are relatively easily seen at night.


Why cant we see constellations during the day?

During the day, the light of the Sun is so intense and so scattered by the atmosphere that the light of the stars is unnoticeable.


Why is it impossible to see stars during the day?

You can see the Sun - and that is a star. The light from the sun swamps out the light from the stars, (signal to noise ratio).


Why do stars only show at night?

we only see stars in the sky at night because in the day it is light because of the sun. The stars are very light but the stars can not be seen because of the sunlight. So when it is pitch black you can see the stars so the stars sparkle in the sky without no light showing so its just the stars and the moon lighting up the world!


Do starts shine during the day?

Stars do shine during the day; however, their light is overwhelmed by the brightness of the Sun. The Sun's intense light scatters in the Earth's atmosphere, making it difficult to see other stars. If you were to go to a location without atmospheric interference, like space, you would still see stars even during the day.


Can the north star be used in the daytime?

No. As you have no doubt noticed, you cannot see the stars during the day.
