You can only see the Stars at night doing the winter why?

Question

when it cold you could see the stars, at night but doing the summer there no stars at night why?

Answer 1

Because the air is colder in the wintertime, it is thinner, therefore, the sky is clearer making the stars more visible.

Answer 2

I believe it has a lot to do with your location and the time of year as to how clear the sky will be. During the winter there is less humidity and heat which holds pollution (haze). Fall and winter months are definitely the best time to see many stars. I love the sunrises and sunsets during this time myself because it's so clear and crisp. When the heat starts to return during warmer months, you will notice more haze from the combination of heat, moisture and pollution. As far as the stars are concerned, the bigger the city with more lights, the less you can see them at night. If you can, drive further out and away from "the city", you should be able to see more stars. Lots of lights are the main cause as to why you don't see very many stars but the weather and pollution can add to that. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

There are stars, but when you consider that they can only be seen clearly when there is no light pollution from street lamps and also about an hour AFTER sundown, most people will be in bed or not interested except in soap and pop stars.

Go camping or live in the country and you will see a lot of stars on a summer's night!!!

Answer 4

What are you talking about? You can see stars at night all year long. I see them every clear night all year long. True, the brightest stars are in the winter sky, but there are always stars. Perhaps you live in such a big, bright city that the streetlights overwhelm all but the very brightest stars. Get out of the city and on any clear night you will see stars.

Answer 5

Really? I can see stars at night any time of the year, unless there are clouds. Do you live near a city, or someplace with lots of lights at night? Are the lights on during the summer, but not during the winter?

Answer 6

You can only see the stars at night winter or summer.
Ambient light can effect their visibility
Reduce that an it will make a difference.
Don't forget the clouds!

Answer 7

Stars can be seen at night during ANY season -- winter, summer, spring, autumn. Often the stars at night are much more distinct and brighter in the winter because our atmosphere is usually more stable during that season.

Answer 8

Because you're not looking in the right place. Stars are visible at night all year long.

Answer 9

I can see the stars all year round. you are waiting for the sun to go down aren't you? I mean, the time change and all.

Answer 10

because the weather are cold the small flying objects in the sky are minimum at winter so the absorption and refractions of the stars light is minimum so they looks more and brighter.
