why can i only see the stars at night?

Answer 1

All the stars are generous. They generate light.

The sun, our sun, is the most generous, giving more light in the day than any other sun can match. We let the sun give to us generously, so we choose to see only one sun during the day.

At night, the sun has to sleep. The sun can't give to us when it sleeps. So the other stars show us just how useful they are. We as humans are weak minded, and see nothing of real value from the stars except for imagination.

What does staring at the sun and staring at a different star have in common? Nothing.

That's why imagination is crap compared to the sun.

Answer 2

Well, you are mistaken. It is possible to see Sirus before dark. Other things that can be seen during the day that might interest you are Venus and Jupiter. Of course you can see the Sun and the Moon during the day. Whether you can see some astronomical object or not is determined by what is called 'magnitude.'
Here is part of a magnitude scale:
Magnitude Needed to see an object of this brightness* Examples

-26 the sun

-13 full moon

-6 crescent moon

-4 naked eye: easy even from large cities planet Venus

-2 naked eye planet Jupiter

-1 naked eye brightest star,
Sirius; totally-
eclipsed moon;
C/1995 O1 (Hale-
Bopp) near peak

0---naked eye: difficult if near bright---summer evening star
artificial lights but generally------Vega; C/1996 B2
visible even from large cities-----(Hyakutake) at peak

;-D 20x80 binoculars are good for beginning astronomers!

Answer 3

Due to their great distance from the Earth, all stars except the Sun appear to the human eye as shining points in the night sky, which can not be seen during daylight

Answer 4

Because the sun is too bright. It's kind of like how you can't see the stars in the city as well as in the mountains. More light in the atmosphere means the stars are less visible.

Answer 5

Im with the other person on this one. I thought that the sun was also a star. U see that in the daytime =)

and i must say that who ever that other person is that answered a few people before me is a huge dumb a**. how could they say the sun sleeps. the sun doesnt fricking sleep. when the sun goes away (when we dont see it any more = nighttime) the sun has rotated to the other side of the earth. U IDIOT!

Answer 6

Because at night the sky is dark, allowing the light of the stars to be seen.

Answer 7

Stars are there in the sky in the night as well as in the day. During the day, the sun's sunlight outshines the stars, so they seem to '' disappear''.

Answer 8

The light from the sun outshines them so they are not visible unless your part of the earth is turned away from the sun. The same is true of the moon...however, because it is closer than the stars, sometimes it is visible, though not as "shiny" as it is at night.

Answer 9

the stars are out all the time, but you cannot see them during the day due to the sun being brighter. When the sun sets, and it gets dark outside, the stars are visable due to their own light.

Answer 10

well.My Friend.You can see the stars only at night because,the morning the sunlight is so powerfull and brilliant which hinder you to see the stars.Stars are there but you just cant see them.
