Stars are nothing more than individual sun's just further away. If the star we call the sun was further away, it would appear as a star in the night sky.
The stars shine all day and all night (same as our sun) but because the light from our sun is so strong (due to the relative closeness) the light of the further away stars are blocked during the day time. At night, when the sun's light is not visible, we will be able to make out the fainter light of the stars.
You can experience the same at night by watching a faint light down the road. When a car with bright front lights approaches the fainter light will be more difficult (or impossible) to see until the car has passed by, and you will again be able to make out the fainter light against the dark surfaces.

Are stars luminescent?
Strictly speaking, no; stars are incandescent (light resulting from heat) as opposed to luminscent (light resulting from non-thermal based effects). One might, however, safely describe stars as "luminous" in a metaporical sense.
Are asteroids luminous?
Asteroids are not luminous like stars. They do not produce their own light but instead reflect light from the Sun. When they are illuminated by sunlight, asteroids can sometimes appear bright in the night sky.
Why and how are various celestial objects luminous and non luminous?
Luminous objects are those which can produce or give out light of their own, while non-luminous objects cannot produce or give out their own light. Some examples of luminous objects would be the sun, stars, fireflies, glowworms and some deep sea fish Some examples of non-luminous objects would be the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and also Moons.
What are balls of gas that show up in the night sky called?
Balls of gas that appear in the night sky are called stars. They are massive, luminous spheres of plasma held together by gravity and emit light and heat through nuclear reactions in their core. Stars are visible in the night sky because of the light they emit.
What does cold is the night when the stars shine bright?
Clear nights offer the best opportunities to see the stars, but a clear,cloudless night will often be much colder than a night with overcast conditions. This is because the clouds insulate the surface, and reflect energy back. A clear night will allow the surface heat to escape into space more easily and so it will be colder.
How would you use luminous in a sentence?
i saw a luminous movement of water over white sand , and beyond that, a solid heavy blue.
What can you find after a clear night?
some stars.
Is a dark night luminous?
A dark night can appear luminous due to the presence of sources of light such as stars, the moon, or artificial lighting. These sources can create a subtle illumination that allows us to see in the darkness.
On a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, where would you find stars that are cool and luminous?
Cool and luminous stars would be located in the top right corner of a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, in the region known as the red giant branch.
What is the Collective noun for an irregular luminous band of stars?

What is the relationship between the stars the sun and the moon?
Stars, including the sun, are luminous celestial bodies that emit their own light, while the moon is a non-luminous body that reflects light from the sun. The sun is a star that is much closer to Earth than other stars, and the moon orbits Earth, influencing tides and providing illumination at night.
