How many stars are can bee seen in a clear night from a place?

It depends on your location. If you are in the city then there is so much light being shed skywards that all the faint stars disappear, only the Moon and the brightest planets and stars remain visible. This is called a ';light pollution';, which is the bane of all astronomers. A Light Pollution is defined as the accumulation of background light from homes, automobiles, streetlights and any other source of light in an urban area. This accumulation of background lighting can make it difficult to see the stars at night.


Budding stargazers like you will find the countryside as an ideal site in watching the stars in its full glory. And summer is the ideal season to start looking. While cool winter skies are less obscured by haze and humidity, temperatures can be prohibitively cold. Since the best night skies are in very remote locations where lodging options are limited to small inns or outdoors camping, potential stargazers should get used to the idea of roughing it. The pay-off will be more than memorable, however, when you return with memories of a galaxy rarely seen.How many stars are can bee seen in a clear night from a place?
earth is a planet on the edge of milky way. on a clear night we can see stars on the edge of milky way. some of the stars emitted the lights we see billions of years ago.so we can see as many stars which emitted radiation [which reaches the earth] about 4 billion years agoHow many stars are can bee seen in a clear night from a place?
well i believe it depends on where exactly you are!


personally i can see way more stars when i'm in a village town ( which has less lighting) to a more developed city.
