It is because the Earth is orbiting the Sun. As our position changes, then the stars appear to be in different locations. It is like when you look at anything when you are moving. Something that is in front of you as you walk towards it, will be beside you when you get to it and behind you when you pass it. If you walk in a circle around something, which is what we are doing as we go around the sun, the things you see will seem to change position but will eventually come back to where they started when you complete your circle. So where stars appear to be at one time of year is where they will appear to be at the same time of year in another year.
