Yes. Meteors do occur during the day but can almost never be seen because of the bright daylight. Only large bolides are bright enough to be seen during the day.

Does many stars fall at once in the sky?

Stars do not "fall" from the sky; instead, what we often see as shooting stars are actually meteors, which are small particles entering the Earth's atmosphere and burning up. During specific meteor showers, many meteors can be seen in a short period, creating the illusion of multiple stars falling at once. However, these events are not stars but rather remnants of comets or asteroids. So, while we can observe many meteors simultaneously, actual stars remain fixed in the night sky.


In what conditions can stars start to fall - scientifically?

It depends on what they are falling into. A star could never fall to Earth but one could, if it got too close, fall into a black hole. A black hole is an object that has collapsed under the force of gravity and has such strong gravity that not even light can escape. It is possible, however highly unlikely, that a star could pass through our solar system by chance. Stars are massive, far larger than Earth. For reference our sun is one of them. In such an instance the orbits of the planets would be greatly disrupted. What is popularly called a 'falling star' has nothing to do with stars, it's a speck of space dust burning up in our atmosphere.


What is the difference between meteors and stars?

Meteors are made up of rocks and ice and dust from space where as shooting stars are falling stars.


When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be in what fall?

free fall


Do we not see stars during the daytime because the sun blocks them or because skylight overwhelms starlight?

We do not see stars during the daytime because the sunlight is much brighter than starlight. The sky is illuminated by the sun's light, which outshines the faint light from stars, making them invisible to our eyes.
