Our atmosphere deflects light so the smaller wave length (purple/blue) come at a different angle making the sky look blue and blocking out the view of space in the day time. We are the only planet in the solar system that has this strong of an atmosphere. That plus the brightness of the sun block all view of space.

It is much easier for the human eye to differenciate the light of a star from total blackness than it is from a bright blue sky. There is no reason other than that. Stars are still visible during the day but there is a much smaller difference between their brightness from the lit sky than the completely dark one.

Sun is a star. It is the source of most of the energy on Earth, including daylight.
Other stars are visible in the night sky, when they are not outshone by the Sun.

the sun is too bright in the day and washes it out. When the light of the sun gets' scattered it also adds the blue tint which helps with reducing of visibility.

Sunlight overpowers starlight, basically. Scattered light rays hit the Earth, giving us a blue sky, which masks anything lacking sufficient brightness that's behind it.
Much like shining a light in someone's face can mask their vision of anything else, just on a much larger scale.

because in the daytime the light from the sun gets bounced around in the atmosphere and blocks us from seeing the starfield in space.
btw, one star IS visible during the day....

Much like shining a light in someone's face can mask their vision of anything else, just on a much larger scale. I hope this helps . good question . -B-
