There are different 'layers' of air at different heights and these can be affected by different conditions causing them to move in different directions. This is sometimes referred to as 'shear' or 'wind shear' and is most noticeable when there are cloud formations in each layer which can be seen moving in different directions.

Why do patterns of stars in the sky stay the same although they appear to move across the sky nightly?

The patterns appear the same because the stars are so far away that their movement is not apparent to our eyes. They move across the sky because the earth is rotating and that makes it look like the stars are moving. Just like the sun does not move across the sky, the earth rotates and the sun appears to move, the same is with the stars.
