Because of the earths continual journey around the sun - each night, about 1 degree of the sky comes into view in the east that wasn't visible the night before, and about 1 degree of the sky dips below the western horizon. After about two months (60 degrees) the overall picture of the sky has changed notably. After six months, it has changed completely. Note: All of this assumes the same viewing time every evening.

What time stars visible tonight?

As soon as the sun sets and it begins to get dark, stars slowly start to come out. As it gets dark at different times on different days, then the answer is different each day. Bright stars come out first. So sometimes there are bright stars that will appear earlier. It can be interesting trying to spot stars starting to appear. If you know where a bright star should appear, which takes a little knowledge of the night sky or trying over the course over a few nights until you know where to look, you can see them starting to appear. Bright ones appear first and then the dimmer ones.

Do the stars appear to twinkle from other planets?

When you look at the stars through any substantial atmosphere (mixture of gases), they appear to twinkle, and they're not visible during the day. When you look at the stars through no gas, like from the Hubble Telescope or from the surface of the moon, they're visible all the time, day and night, even when the sun is also in the sky, and they don't twinkle.

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

No, the stars we see in the night sky can vary depending on our location, time of year, and the time of night. The rotation of the Earth causes the stars to appear to move across the sky, so different stars become visible at different times.
