Why do the planets change position at night?
Day and night, the planets constantly orbit the sun. This makes the planetary positions appear to change each night with respect to the background stars from the perspective of earth. So the positions do not change only at night, it is just at night we can see the positions have changed a little bit more.

Why do you see planets just after sunset and just before sunset?
The two planets that are between Earth and the sun are Mercury and Venus. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Venus is the second closest planet to the Sun. These two planets can only be seen when the observer on earth is facing towards them. That occurs only during the early morning twilight, the entire day, and the early evening twilight. During the night, and observer is facing away from the two planets. During the day, it is difficult, but not impossible, to see either Mercury or Venus due to the glare of the sun. The remaining planets have an orbit that places them farther out from the sun than earth. They can be seen only when it is night, or early twilight. The three outer planets that are easiest to see with the naked eye at night are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

Why does the position of the constellation Orion appear to change through the year why?
The position of Orion seems to change through the sky because stars moved just like planets. But, if you sand there and just stare at it all night you cannot sense its motion. You could probably see it over a few days. The movement of stars is so hard to detect from earthi because they are so far away from us
