The density of the gases in space is so low that we would not term them "air".

As you increase in altitude from Sea Level the density of air gradually decreases right up until you reach space. There is no point where there is a sudden change so that someone can say that air has stopped and space has begun. Quite simply, the upper reaches of the atmosphere have been defined by picking an altitude. Below that altitude is "air"; above it is "space".

When is the most stars out?

The stars are always "out" ... 24/7/365 ... in huge numbers. On earth, because of the air, you can't see the other stars when the sun is in the sky. But on the moon, where there is no air, the stars are visible even when the sun is also 'out'.


Why don't stars twinkle from the moon?

Stars do not twinkle from the moon because the moon does not have an atmosphere like the Earth does. The twinkling of stars is caused by the light from the stars passing through the Earth's atmosphere and being distorted by the movement of air currents. Since the moon lacks an atmosphere, the light from the stars does not twinkle when viewed from its surface.


Why is it that stars twinkle for earth but not from the moon?

This is because the Earth's atmosphere has many layers which causes the rays of light coming from the stars to refract. This gives the effect that stars twinkle. The air around the moon does not have layers so the rays from the stars do not refract, and thus do not twinkle.
