Why the sun does not appear at night?
From Earth, the Sun looks like it moves across the sky in the daytime and appears to disappear at night. This is because the Earth is spinning towards the east. The Earth spins about its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the middle of the Earth between the North and South poles.
Why does the sun appear to be the brightest star in the sky when it is not?
The sun is a medium size star that appears larger and brighter than other stars because it is closer to us.
Why is the sun the only star we can see during the day?

Where does the sun go when it’s night?
Day or night, the Sun is fixed at its place in the solar system. It is the Earth’s rotation and spinning that makes the Sun disappear at night.
Does sun shine at night?
QUESTION: Why does the sun not shine at night? ANSWER: The truth is that the sun is always shining and will shine continuously until it dies. The sun is the main source of energy, and it rotates on its own axis. The planets rotate on their own axis as well as they revolve around the sun due to gravitation pull.

What star is brighter than the Sun?
Science of star Aldebaran. This star glows with the orangish color of a K5 giant star. In visible light, it is about 153 times brighter than the sun, although its surface temperature is lower (roughly 4000 kelvins compared to 5800 kelvins for the sun).
Why does the sun appear to be the largest star?
The Sun is the largest star in the sky. The Sun looks larger because of the rotation of the Earth. The Sun looks larger because it is closer to Earth than any other star. The Sun appears to be the largest star because it gives off the most light.
