Do we only see the stars that are on the opposite side of the sun?

Question

I just recently learned the reason why the stars only shine at night, and it made me wonder if the sun overshined them in the morning. Does that mean that the only stars we see at night are stars that are hidden behind the earth’s shadow? I would like to understand it better, thank you.

Answer 1

So, because we are moving around the sun, theirs no area of the sky that we *never* see stars in, just areas we currently can’t. A given star might be hidden from us by the sun for a period, but a few months later we have shifted far enough around our orbit it’s back in view
