The Sunlight is diffused by the Earth's atmosphere during the daytime, so you can't see the stars. When the sunlight is blocked by an eclipse, you can see the stars. So, they don't go anywhere, but our ability to see them changes.

The stars are still there. It's just that their light is little compared to the light that is now streaming to earth from the sun. This light is scattered in a number of ways, and the result is that our eyes are "overloaded" by so much light and cannot detect the faint points of light that are the stars during the day. A somewhat odd example might be seeing someone a couple of hundred yards away using a flashlight at night to look for something on the ground. The same person seen in daylight would look odd, but the point is that you wouldn't be able to see the light from the beam of the flashlight sweeping around in the day like you would at night.

The stars don't go anywhere in the morning. They are still present. We just can't see them. The atmosphere scatters the sunlight, thus hiding the stars.

When going out into space, or to a world where there is no atmosphere, then both the sun and stars will be visible, with a black sky. It's because there'll be no atmosphere to scatter the sunlight.

They are still out there! The sun's light intrferes with the visual, when the sun is on the other side of the earth and the sky is dark on your side you are able to see them more clearly. Some stars are visible in the daylight.

Absolutely. It's just that often we can barely see them because our sun's light is blocking out their light from getting to us. There are stars everywhere, it's just that during the day it's very hard to see them.

The stars are to be found in space, the nearest star to us is the sun. The sun is big because it is close to us the other stars are like the sun but are just points of light because they are a long long long way away form us.

The sky is very bright blue during daytime. It just outshines the stars, even the brightest ones:) ya ik im so cool

However under perfect conditions the brightest star (Sirius) can be seen on the southern latitudes from the top of the high mountain just before sunset if it's exactly over your head.

There is nothing wrong with the stars, either it is day time or there are clouds in the sky. Or the light from cities could affect the visibility, this is called light pollution.

When are stars seen?

Stars are normally seen at night. However, our Sun is also a star and it is seen during the day. So stars can be seen at anytime.


Where do the stars go at night?

Stars don't go anywhere at night or during the day. A star always remains where it is, but your ability to see it can be hampered by city lights, smog, and other factors.


Why are stars always there at night?

Stars are there day and night. During the day the sun, which is a star, is so bright that you cannot see the other stars. So that is why we only see stars at night. As we orbit the sun we do see different stars throughout the year. So ones that are not visible on a particular day will be visible at night at another time of the year.


Is the sky opaque?

No. The atmosphere is transparent, which is why you can see the stars and moon at night. During the day the light from the stars is drowned out by scattered light from the sun. Clouds in the sky are translucent.


Why are stars visable at night?

Technically the stars are always visible 24 hours a day every day of the week. Stars shine and always continue to shine until they die in a supernova. The stars are not visible during the day because the light of the sun outshines all the light provided by the stars. However, during the night, when the sun is on the other side of the Earth, there is not enough external light to outshine the light of the stars. As a result, the stars are easily visible. However, there are instances that can prevent one from seeing stars even at night. For example, the bright lights of New York City cast a huge glow on the horizon, preventing anyone from seeing the stars past a "light barrier" created on the horizon.

Why can you see planets and stars on a night?

The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.


Do stars go out during the day but ignite at night?

No. They are still there, but you can't see them because of the sun. ( stars don't have light switches).


Why can you not see stars apart from the sun in the day?

Because at night every thing is dark so the stars stand out but during the day the sun causes everything to be bright so the stars all blend in.

Why can you see stars often at night?

You can also see stars during the day, during a total eclipse (when the moon passes between the earth and sun while near perigee). The reason stars are not typically visible during the day is because the nearest star (our sun) is so relatively bright it "washes out" the starlight.
