Do stars appear to move due to the earths rotation?

Yes, stars appear to move across the sky due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth spins from west to east, stars seem to rise in the east and set in the west, creating a daily arc. This apparent motion is most noticeable at night when the sky is clear, making it easy to observe the changing positions of stars over time.
