Why pole star looks stationary while all other stars appear to move?
As the Earth spins on it axis, the stars appear to move across the sky as we see them from the Earths surface. The pole star does not shift much from its position throughout the night though. This is because the axis about which the Earth is turning is pointing in its direction, towards the north (and out towards the south too).

What causes stars to move apparently in one night?
The rotation of the Earth will make stars appear to move in the perception of a viewer. The reality, of course, is they're much to far away to actually move visibly in a single night - their position can vary based on seasons, but relative to one another, there won't be a visible movement. The planets, of course, *do* move, and the observable motion is much greater than that of stars. The word itself comes from "wanderer", in Greek, due to the fact they did move so much in relation to the background, which seemed relatively fixed to observers of the era.
