You can't normally see stars during the day because the Earth's atmosphere refracts and scatters sunlight all around, which is where the "blue" of the sky comes from. This scattered glare is so bright that it drowns out the tiny gleams of the stars.

If you were in a deep well or a cave, looking straight up to the sky, the blue glare would be largely hidden - and you WOULD be able to see the stars!

Why cant you see the stars during the daytime?

The light emitted from our own star, the Sun, is scattered within our atmosphere and creates the blue sky we see during the day. This blue sky is not as bright as our Sun, but is brighter than the light we receive from other stars. Hence the scattering of light obscures our view of the stars.
