What does shiver mean?

Why do the difference between two stars does not appear to change?

Does the question mean the distance between two stars? It does change, but very slowly on a human time scale. In 100,000 years most of the familiar constellations will look quite different.


How many planets are within 100 light years of earth?

The exact number is not known. But it does seem that most stars have at least one planet, and probably several planets, at least on average. Not even the number of stars in the immediate neighborhood can be known for sure, since red dwarves are quite hard to detect. Here is an estimate. The Wikipedia article on "List of nearest stars" lists 56 hydrogen-fusing stars at a distance up to 5 parsec, or 16.3 light-years. Assuming the density of stars is more or less constant at distance up to 100 light-years, that would mean that for a volume 231 times larger (up to 100 light-years), there would be about 12,930 stars. Assuming that each of them has 1-10 planets on average, and doing some rounding, that would mean there are between 13,000 and 130,000 planets at that distance. Please note that despite the fairly large range, there is still a lot of guesswork involved.
