Why can you see more stars in the country than the city?

Do you agree air is cleaner in the countryside than in the big cities?
Air is technically cleaner in the country side as most of the smog/pollution comes from factories, etc. Most of these factories are located in urban areas (city areas) due to closer access to the city. The smog spreads out as it moves due to wind and so the pollution/air quality in the country side (rural) is clearer and less congested with pollution. But technically there is still a lot of pollution but it's just spread out a lot.
