No, there is no star anywhere that is 'still'. First, you would have to ask: "Still relative to what?" Second, prevailing theory is that the galaxies of the universe are all moving away from one another. Even relative to the far distant galaxies, all the contents of the Milky Way are orbiting around the center of the Milky Way, a super-massive Black Hole. There is nothing anywhere that is actually 'still'. The idea of a static universe has been discounted over the last several decades.

Light from stars takes perhaps millions of years to reach Earth. The stars we see know is how they were millions of years ago. So, some stars may have "died" by now.

if i recall correctly most of them are but some of them have burned out but can still be seen due to the the amount of lightyears it would take to get to a star

It seems like they haven't moved at all since the first star maps, but that's just because they're so far away. Scientists recently discovered that they're actually accelerating. I think I heard that our star, the sun, and the entire solar system along with it, is orbiting the center of the milky way at 250000 km/sec.

Stars can disappear if they blow up like supernova, or they are sucked by a black hole or they die naturally.

It may or may not be. About 50 percent of the stars you see are burnt out, but there light has not yet finished reaching the earth

Some stars might no longer be in existence but you still see them in the night sky why-?

Some stars might no longer be in existence but one can still see them in the night sky because they are still active.


Some stars might no longer be in existence but you still see them in the night sky why?

Stars that are no longer in existence, or dead stars, may be still visible in the night sky depending on how far away the star was from earth. Light takes time to travel, so if a star is 50 billion lightyears away from earth, and it died 25 billion years ago, due to the amount of time it takes for the light to reach our eyes, the star's light will still be visible for another 25 billion years.

Is the sun brighter than most stars?

The sun is a very small star is not as bright or big as most other stars but it seems bigger and brighter because it is much closer. Some stars have burned out, but we still see them in the night sky because the light they give off takes so long to reach us. There may even be some stars that have gone through their entire life cycle but we still have no idea of their existence because they are so far away! The night sky is fascinating, isn't it?
