Stars are very far away; therefore - and despite their fairly large relative speeds, of several kilometers per second - any movement will take centuries to be noticeable.

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.
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.
What do astromoners measure distance in between stars with?
light years
What is the distance between the constellation cancer and earth in any distance of measure?
Any constellation is a group of stars that appear to form some kind of pattern, but have no connection with each other. They all happen to be in roughly the same direction from us, but they're all at different distances. So there's no such thing as a constellation's distance from us.
The diffence in brightness between two stars is related to the?
Their distance away from you and their intrinsic luminosity.

Why do distant stars that are actually very far from each other appear to be closed together in the sky?
because its for from stars
Compare the distance between two stars and the distance between two planets?
The distance between stars are much greater than distances between objects in our solar system
What is a cosmic distance?
A distance in space, between stars etc.
Why the moon stars and sun appear to change positions in the sky?
The sun and stars change positions because Earth moves
What units are for distance between stars?
The correct unit to describe the distance between stars is the "light year", the distance a photon of light would travel (through a vacuum) in a year.
Why do stars appear distant if you supposedly only see the light that they emit?
All sight its based on the light that objects either emit, reflect, or refract. The stars are little different in this regard. We judge distance using a number of different cues, a number of which indicate that the stars are far away.More distant objects will tend to appear smaller. The stars appear small.Any object that blocks a portion of the sky will block the stars from view, so we know the stars are more distant than those objects.When we move, objects we are looking at appear to change position relative to us. The farther away they are, the smaller the change. No matter how much we move there is no apparent change in the position of the stars, meaning they must be very far away.Indeed, the stars are much farther away than they appear to be as we are not able to perceive such distances directly.
What is the distance between star?
The distance between stars can be anything from light minutes to billions of light years.
Are the stars measured in light years?
Stars are not measured in light years. The distance between them is.

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.
