They only shine at night. During the day the space gnomes turn them off to save energy.

All the time. The reason you can't see them during the day is because the earth rotation. For example, while the earth rotates toward the sunny side it becomes morning or day for you, and half way around the globe it is night time for the other guys and when it is dark their iris in the eyes are wide open to collect more lights so they can see at night. That's one of the reason why you can see the shiny stars. You would not be able to see the other stars on the other side of the sun because the sun light is so bright that it superimpose over the far away bright stars. The only time you would be able to see the other stars behind the sun is once a year, because the earth not only rotates on it's own axis, but it 's hovering or orbiting around the sun. It takes like 365 days to completely orbit around the sun. Good enough yes?

They shine all the time but you cannot usually see them during the day because the sun (which is a star) outshines them because it is nearer to the earth. At night the sun's light is shielded by the earth and so the light from the stars is seen.

Actually, they do not shine at all. They are bodies which emit an intense amount of energy in different forms, including light. This energy is formed by the nuclear reactions taking place within them. Since these reactions are continuous, the light is emitted continuously.
During the day time, the sun, being closest to us, emits so much of light that the light emitted by stars which are millions of times the distance between earth and sun, is not able to be seen.

Sometimes you can see the moon during the day and it does not go away nor do the stars. We see the stars and the moon at night because the sun on the other side of the world lights them up. Stars energy is created by fusion. By the time the light of stars reaches us, they could be long gone but their image has only just reached us.

The stars are there all the time. The only reason why we cannot see them during the day is because our sun is so much closer than any of them. Our sun's brightness outshines all the other stars.

Stars are the same all the time and thre is no day or night for them. Day and night are thre for us only , solely becuse the earth spins around its own axis which resultes in pne half of its surface continuing to be awy / shielded from the sun.Stars being self -luminant bodies as much as the sun and many of them being much bigger than the sun thre is no question of thire being any day or night for them .But for us the statrs that are located too far away send much little light anf this light during the day time is nothing too little to be seen and it is inisible .Sincce our atmosphere in the night is shielded from the light of the sun, we are able to see the luminance of the stars in the sky.

They shine all of the time, they are stars because they give off light as a result of internal nuclear reactions. We don't see them during the daytime because of the brighter ambient light from our own star, the sun.

Stars are other suns. That being the case, they would shine all the time.
The only reason you cannot see them during the day is that the sun nearest earth is closer than they are, therefore appears to be brighter.

stars shine all the time..suns are also called stars..they seem to shine from afar during night time but we can't see them during daytime because it's the time that we are facing on our own sun.
