The stars are all around Earth in every direction. Because the sun is much closer to Earth than all other stars it appears bigger and brighter. The sun’s brightness overwhelms the brightness of all other stars during the daytime, and that is why we can see only the sun during the daytime.
This is why the artifact doesn’t show the sun and the other stars being visible at the same time.

Stars are very far away from Earth in every direction. (1.4

The sun is the only star in our solar system. Other stars are far outside our solar system. (1.4)

The sun looks bigger and brighter because it is much closer to Earth than other stars. (1.6)

The sun is the only star we can see in the daytime because the sun looks so bright. (1.6)

Connection: Need to figure out why we see different stars during a day so we can understand why we see different stars during different times of the year

Why don’t we see a lot of stars in the daytime?

As Earth orbits the sun, the stars we see in the night sky change throughout the year.

Students investigate a constellation. There are four core criteria for Planning
and Conducting Investigations that we use to assess their quality: produces data that can serve
as the basis for evidence, identifies relevant variables, considers potential variation in outcomes,
and consistent with accepted science ideas and data generated.
