A star is a bright sphere of plasma being held together by gravity and nuclear fusion.
You can see the star we orbit, our sun, during the day. Distant starlight, however, isn't bright enough to shine through the glare from the sun in the atmosphere. At night, when the earth's rotation faces you away from the sun and it's glare, you're able to see the light from far away stars.

A star is a huge, glowing ball of gas held together by gravity. Stars are visible at night because they emit light that can be seen when it's dark outside and there's no interference from the sun's brightness. During the daytime, the sun's light overwhelms the light from other stars, making them impossible to see.
