Not enough to notice. Each star has its own "proper motion", and some of the stars are clipping right along - but they are mostly so far away that you wouldn't notice the changes even over several lifetimes.

One of the major exceptions is Barnard's Star, which is moving QUITE rapidly, and is close enough that the difference can be measured over the course of a few decades.

But "night to night"? No.

Anything that moves appreciably over the course of a few nights is within our solar system. Planets do; not only are the other planets moving, but the Earth is moving as well. About the only other thing that you'll notice moving from night to night would be a comet.

Due to the rotation of the Earth, the constellations overhead in the day time (which are not visible as it is) are not the same ones visible at night. However, the constellations in today's day sky are the same constellations in the night sky 6 months from now, and the constellations in tonight's night sky are the same constellations in the day sky 6 months from now.

Why aren't stars always in the same part of the sky at night?

Because not all stars are supposed to be in the sky at night. There are day stars, like the Sun (it's our closest star). Furthermore, the Earth is constantly spinning. This makes the Sun, Moon, and the Stars appear to rise and set each day/night. The Sun itself is spinning around the Milky Way Galaxy's center, as well.

What is the similarity between night and day?

The difference between night and day is that the stars are still there and sometimes you can see the moon. Also you can work at both parts of the day and people still drive at night and day, the things you smell still smell the same, the things you taste or eat still taste the same and the things you touch still feel the same.
