Stars all appear to revolve around the sky each day as the Earth revolves, but relative to each other the stars stay 'fixed'. That is because they are so distant it takes years for any of them to move appreciably.

Is any kind of satellite stationary in the night sky?
Yes. There are many satellites that are geostationary. That is they remain fixed over the same relative position of the Earth. In the night sky, it would appear to not move in relation to the background stars and other stellar bodies.
Do all stars in the sky move?
Yes, all stars have a relative position and they al move within certain limits. Most stars move visually very slowly, so the Greeks and Romabns would have seen nearly the same night sky as we do.
Stars in the night sky always maintain the same distance from what?
Stars in the night sky always maintain the same distance to what? The sun, the moon, the horizon or the celestial meridian?
Why do patterns of stars in the sky stay the same although they appear to move across the sky nightly?
The patterns appear the same because the stars are so far away that their movement is not apparent to our eyes. They move across the sky because the earth is rotating and that makes it look like the stars are moving. Just like the sun does not move across the sky, the earth rotates and the sun appears to move, the same is with the stars.
Why do stars appear to move across the sky during the night?
stars don't move across the sky, we orbit the sun, as you should know, and as we orbit the sun we see the stars as moving but in all actuality we are just changing position and seeing the stars at a different perspective

What shows the position of stars in the sky?
Both a star map and a planetarium.
What shows the position of the stars in the sky?
Both a star map and a planetarium.
What causes the stars in the sky to appear to be moving?
The Earth's rotation. The relation between the Earth (or a person on the Earth) and the position of the stars makes it appear that the stars are in a different position as the night progresses.
Is horoscopes and star signs the same?
Star signs are symbols derived from placement of the stars in the sky. Horoscopes are the prediction of a person, or group of people's fortune based on their star sign and the position of the planets and stars.

How many stars are in the sky in Asia?
The same as there are anywhere else. The Earth rotates, so everyone sees the same stars.

How can you prove if the earth really rotates?
Simply by observing the position of celestial objects such as the sun & stars ! If the Earth didn't rotate, the sun would be in exactly the same position each day, and the side of the planet away from the sun would be frozen ! Additionally, if the earth wasn't rotating, the stars would be in exactly the same places in the night-sky !
