Stars can be seen at night, when the sun is below the horizon and the sky is dark enough for their light to be visible.

Here are some additional factors that affect when and how well you can see stars:

* Location: Light pollution from cities and towns can make it difficult to see stars. You'll have a better chance of seeing them in areas with less light pollution, like rural areas or national parks.

* Weather: Clear skies are essential for stargazing. Clouds, fog, and haze can block the light from stars.

* Time of year: The position of the stars in the sky changes throughout the year. Some constellations are only visible during certain seasons.

* Moon phase: A full moon can wash out the light from fainter stars.

* Time of night: The best time to see stars is usually after midnight, when the sky is darkest.

You can use a stargazing app or website to find out what stars and constellations are visible in your area at a particular time.
