why can't we see stars during the day?

Answer 1

The light from the sun, which is the closest star to the earth, is so intense during the day that it overpowers the light from all the rest of the stars.

Answer 2

I think that its because the sun's light causes our atmosphere to appear as a bright blue and this bright blue sky is brighter than the light from the stars. If you were outside the atmosphere, for example if you were standing on the moon - even in daytime with the sun shining brightly you would then be able to see the stars because the moon has no atmosphere.

Answer 3

You cant see stars during the day because the intensity of the sun's light is far greater than that of the stars, as their intensity decreases by distance

Answer 4

Stars do glow during the day, but we can't see them because of the glare of sunlight. When the sun is up, the blue color in sunlight gets scattered all over the atmosphere, turning the sky the familiar bright blue color. This blue light is much brighter than the faint light coming from the stars, so it prevents us from seeing them.

Answer 5

When we "see" stars, what we actually see is the light they sent out years ago. We can only see them at night because during the day, even though the light they sent out is still hitting the earth, the sun puts out so much more light that it drowns out the other stars.

Answer 6

the sun is far too bright to see the other stars during the day. you can however see supernovas in daylight. also you can see the stars during a full solar eclipse. the stars are always there twinkling at you :)

Answer 7

Some stars are visible in the daytime because they are brighter than the blue sky, BUT you will need a computerized telescope to find them. In addition to a dozen or so bright stars, our Moon and the planets Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars when it is close to Earth are visible in the daytime with a computerized telescope.

The moon is visible anytime it is partially illuminated and on your side of Earth in the sky above you.

Answer 8

because our sun is making the sky too bright to see any other stars in the sky. the suns light is overpowering the other stars so we do not see them. at night we do not see the sun's direct light therfore the sky is dark so we can see the other stars.

Answer 9

we can see stars durring the day but we can only see one. It is a yellow star that we call the Sun.

Answer 10

Imagine you are stariing at some headlights at night from about 100 ft away. If your friend lights a lighter 1 inch beside from the headlight, you will not see it. Same concept.

The sun blocks them all out.
