Why we can't see the stars when we are on the moon?

Answer 1

Stars can absolutely be seen from the moon, but because the surface of the moon is so bright if you took a photo exposed long enough to see the stars the film would be destroyed. With the naked eye if you looked up you would see stars.

This site is good because it deals with most of the common questions (such as why you can't see stars on the moon - because the light of the moon washes them out.) I encourage you to take a look at it. Also, more information about the Apollo program is here:

Answer 2

At times the stars are not visible from the Moon for the same exact reason that at times the stars are not visible from the Earth:
It's daylight.
Stars are visible from the dark side of the moon, but since no one ever landed there [we always landed on the day side], no pictures from the lunar program show stars.

Answer 3

Depends on which side of the moon you are. On moon, when you are under sunshine, the same reason as on earth (during the day time, you can't see stars). Otherwise, you should be able to see stars (perhaps even better).

Answer 4

Stars can be seen on the moon if you are on the dark side, otherwise their is too much light to see the faint starlight. It is the same reason why you cannot see stars during the day on the Earth.
