if you are observing from the surface of the earth, the likely answer is atmospheric interference. in space, or with an advanced earth based telescope differences in color are dependent on Doppler shift and/or the temperature of the star, hot stars burn bright blue, cool ones dark red.

Why do stars and constellation appear to move in the night sky?

Do you see the same stars when you look out at night?

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


Do stars and constellations appear in the same place every night?

No. Since the earth is constantly spinning, while at the same time, constantly orbiting the Sun, the side of the Earth facing away from the Sun, i.e. the night side, is constantly changing. As a result, stars and constellation do not appear in the same place every night.
