: Why are other planets and stars and all that colourful galaxy not visible in the sky the same way we see the moon and sun in our everyday mundane lives with naked eyes?

They are visible, just not the same as the moon because the moon is closer and the sun is huge. A house is easier to see than a grain of sand
You can easily see Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. When you see a very bright “star” that’s probably a planet. Venus and Jupiter are the brightest dots in the sky.
Galaxies and Nebulae aren’t really visible to the naked eye, the photos you see online are taken with extremely long exposures and lots of color enhancing and other editing.
Maybe under perfect skies without light pollution you could see some vague nebulae and Andromeda.
