Can you really see the stars all over the sky when you climb Mount Everest?

I am a starry sky photographer, and I have photographed the starry sky in many places.

From the perspective of starry sky photography, the conditions on the plateau are very good. First, the air is thin, with less stray light and high air transparency. Many answers are mentioned. Seeing that the sky is blue and black during the day is a sign of weak air scattering. At night, the background of the whole sky is darker and the stars are particularly bright. Second, the water vapor content is low. Most of the water vapor is distributed in the atmosphere below three or four kilometers, and the water vapor content in the plateau is very small, which also improves the air permeability. In addition, the low water vapor content also causes less clouds and more opportunities to look at the stars. Of course, as for Mount Everest, as mentioned in the previous answer, you have no chance to see the starry sky. You must return to the camp before dark, or you will never come back. So most of what you hear is watching the stars at Everest base camp.
