YES that is true.
one cannot observe stars during day time only because sunlight is very bright.This light scatters in the upper layer of atmosphere and less bright stars are not visible in this scattered bright light.
if we can make any arrangement that we can prevent sunlight from coming to our eyes directly than we can see the stars.

so a Person standing at the bottom of a well can observe stars and planets during day time .If he see towards sky he don't see sunlight scattered in sky and so he can see stars.

No.

But with proper filters the observatories do keep track of events on planets and the stars, during day light hours.

If the Sun's light is cut off then stars light will be cut off. You can see certain stars early in the morning for some time, after Sun rise and you must have seen the Moon during day light hours.

Same with sunset.

you can't see stars in the day from the bottom of the well because the sun's light is way too bright as compared to the other stars
the only way to see stars in the day is during an total eclipse as almost all the light from the sun is blocked from reaching the earth, making it seem like night time. now you can't see the sun and so the sun's light will not obscure the light from the stars
if you just block out the sun from your own vision it is not enough, it has to be over a large area.

Bright stars like Sirius can be seen if one exactly know the upcoming position. This is also true for bright planets like Jupiter and Venus.

No. Because in day time earth's atmosphere alongwith all particles abosrbed or scattered light.

You can't see stars during the day because of interference by sunlight. At the bottom of a well the sunrays are mostly blocked out, hence you'll be able to see stars.

Not true.
Whatever light enters into the well will only be scattered sunlight from suspended particles in atmosphere. The light from stars is too faint to compete with this.

isn't it hilarious how human beings allways attempt to downgrade technological expertise to the comparable point as blind faith. you may no longer see your techniques so that's faith we are employing to determine that that's there! all of us know human beings all have a techniques because of fact anybodies head we've ever opened, there is been a techniques. We assume there's no longer a God because of fact each thing that have been attributed to a God grew to become out to be technological expertise. stable factors although, like scientists say dark be counted exists in basic terms because of fact there must be "something" to describe the mysterious gravitational effects we word. you need to call that "something" God in case you needed to. yet if you consider that the different oftentimes going on stress of nature acts in a thoroughly mechanistic way dark be counted is in all probability a extra suitable assumption.

Yes, you can. One star we observe daily: our star, the Sun.

it can be done but you need the right equipment. Because of the light from the Sun it drowns out the light from the stars, but they are still there. I don't think sitting in a well would help any.
