Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Sun is the principal source of light which is the nearest star and is the main source of heat and light for all the planets. We know that the Sun is also a star which emits lights all the time. Due to the rotation of the Earth, one side of the planet becomes dark all the time. That is the only reason why day and night occur.
As the Sun is the nearest star to us, extreme brightness will be there during the daytime. Due to this brightness, no other things can be seen in the sky during the daytime. So it is not the stars emitting light only at night time.
The correct statement would be that they emit light throughout the day and night, but due to the brightness of the Sun, the light of the stars cannot be seen.
