Because they are so far away.
(The moon ... the closest natural body to Earth ... is moving in its orbit at
something like 2,300 miles per hour relative to us, but even the moon is
so far away that we don't notice its actual motion.)
The actual motion of stars is very hard to see because stars are very far away.
The stars we can see are all within our galaxy (the Mikey Way). In general all the stars are orbiting the center of the Mikey Way.

Light from the stars they orbit makes it difficult to see them.
Because they are so far away, you can't see them move at all!
because they are so far away you cant see them move at all
Because there is so much light in Los Angeles, it's hard to see the stars because its not dark enough. If you were to go into the country side of L.A. it would be easier to see the stars
Our Sun is just an average star. There are smaller stars, and bigger stars, Some stars are so huge it would be difficult to see the Sun next to it - See link for a picture.
Its not that the stars aren't up there. We are creating so much light pollution in our cities that it can be difficult to see stars in an urban area.
During the day, the bright light from the sun makes it difficult to see other stars. If we were to see stars during the day, we would see the same ones that are present in the night sky but they would be much dimmer and harder to distinguish due to the sun's glare.
It is mainly because of light pollution caused by the city. If you are in a isolated place away from the city, you will have an easier time viewing stars.
No. All the stars at night that are actually stars are well beyond the solar system. Five "stars" that you sometimes see are actually planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The only actual star in our solar system is the sun.
