Answer to Problem 7RAT
The correct option for the statement "We do not see many stars in the daytime because” option (c).
Explanation of Solution
All stars are at different locations in the Universe. The Sun cannot block them. Stars are present in the sky both day as well as at night.
The Sun is a star that generates a high amount of bright light during the daytime. The light from the Sun is scattered in all directions by the atmosphere. So, due to the glare from the bright sunlight, the light from other stars are not visible. The Moon does not produce light, it only reflects the light from the Sun.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement "We do not see many stars in the daytime because" is option (c).
