Is this a serious post, or are you just trolling?
2/10 Troll harder.
You make the worst threads.
nice attempt at trolling
you cant actually see rays of light from the side.
you can only see light when it goes directly into your eye and hits your retina.
So at night, you cant see any light because you cant see the sun directly. the rays of light are blocked by the earth.
When you are looking at a ray in the earths atmosphere, (perhaps at sunset, or when the sun shines through a hole in the clouds) you cannot see the actual light ray... you are looking at the light that bounces off the particles in the atmosphere, and those rays do travel straight into your eye, just like the light bouncing off the moon. Think of the dust/mist in the atmosphere as millions of tiny moons.
At night in space... there is no atmosphere, and no particles or dust for the sunlight to reflect off.... so you cant see it even though it is there.
Copy pasta
Sun is not a star. Whoever told you that is a fool.
The moon is a star, that's why we can see it at night.

thanks makes sense.
does that mean we're only seeing half of the stars in the universe at night?
^ Fukn idiots up in here posts 2-4
The sun is just a really really massive star. All the other ones are just really small so we can't see them in the day time. We don't see the sun at night because the sun is solar powered and can only turn on in the day time.
time to go back to kindergarten
Frak this i'm out
not sure if srs

It is simply not possible that it was a serious post. Even on the misc, just no way...

at night the sun becomes the moon so we do see the sun at night OP, jakes on you
wait wut
This has been argued on the misc for awhile.
When it's night time the sun goes to sleep and becomes a lot cooler, that's why misc had the idea to send a shuttle to the sun during the night so the shuttle doesn't melt
fuk this thread, time to do a 360 and get the hell out
herp derp
the suns light is being blocked by the earth
think of it this way ..if someone shined a light to your back would you be able to see it ?

**** some ppl are ****ing retarded. we rotate around the sun as we revolve around our own axis so for some of the day our part of the earth will not be facing the sun which is why we cant see it.
dude, the sun is our moon and the moon is aan asteroid
Do you measure your height from shoulders or top of head?
ITs because we have used so much of the suns energy for solar power, it used to be that you could see it during the night.
this question should be on the philosoraptor meme... omg so genius because its so dumb hahah
