Because what is shown in the address bar is the request URL, and when you use POST, the parameters are transfered in the request body, instead of in the request URL.
I advise you to get familiar with both the HTTP spec (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt) and the HTML spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4) to fully understand the mechanics behind them. It'll take some time, but it's worth it IMHO.
