Since the visible planets as a class are the brightest things in the sky (after the Sun and Moon), the first object to appear in the evening twilight sky ... referred to historically as the "Evening Star" ... is typically a planet. It can be Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn.

However, Venus is usually referred to as the Morning and Evening star.

What things would you never see at daytime?

Well I know you can't see the stars, with the naked eye at least.


Every night you see the usual stars... the big dipper and others. What stars are on the other side of the planet where it is daytime?

The star that can be seen on the other side of the planet where it is daytime is the Sun, which is so bright -- except for during a total eclipse -- it outshines all the other stars. To see what is/was behind the sun you will have to wait half a year until the earth's orbit takes it to the other side of the sun. Then the night sky will show you the stars that the sun was hiding. The constellations that are hidden by the sun in this way are those that form the zodiac. Constellations like the big dipper in the north are circumpolar (they are above rather than on a level with the sun) and thus remain visible all year.


Why are you unable to see stars during daytime?

Stars are not bright enough to overcome the brightness of the sun (to be seen with the naked eye).2nd Answerer says: Actually, the Sun is the nearest star to our Earth, so in reality, you CAN see ONE star during the day.


Where are the stars during daytime?

Stars are present in the sky during daytime as well, but they are not visible due to the brightness of the sun. The sunlight overwhelms the faint light from stars, making them invisible to the naked eye.


Why are constellations not seen during the daytime?

During the daytime, the brightness of the sun overwhelms the comparatively dim light from the stars that make up constellations, making them impossible to see. The scattering of sunlight in the Earth's atmosphere also diminishes the contrast between the stars and the sky, further obscuring the visibility of constellations during daylight hours.

Why do stars come out?

The Earth's atmosphere contains nitrogen, which glows with blue light when struck by the suns rays. This obscures the stars during the daytime. If there were no nitrogen in the atmosphere, the stars would be visible all the time.


Is it possible to see stars in the daytime?

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 is there only 1 star in the sky?

There are actually billions of stars in the sky, but during the daytime, sunlight is so bright that only the brightest star, our Sun, is visible. At night, more stars become visible as the sky darkens and our eyes adjust to the darkness.


Why can't we see stars in the daytime?

We can't see stars in the daytime because the brightness of the sun overwhelms the light from the stars, making them invisible to our eyes.

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).


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.


Were do the stars go in the day time?

They are still there in the daytime. They are just difficult to see, because our atmosphere is too bright. Some bright planets (like Venus) or stars (like Sirius) should be visible if you know exactly where to look.


Why does the sky seem black on the moon?

Because the Moon has no atmosphere, there is no reaction of molecules to the Sun's rays, as there is on Earth during the daytime. If the Earth had no atmosphere, the stars would be visible all the time.
