No, they aren't fixed in the sense of being rigidly placed somehow in space without the ability to move. But all the individual stars we see in the sky are orbiting around the center of the Milky Way, along with us and our sun. So relative to each other they don't move very much at all. That is why they appear fixed, and why we refer to them that way.

What is a fixed location in a space called?
A fixed location in a space is called a fixed star.
Do stars move relative to each other why?
Yes, everything in space is moving because there is nothing that fixes them to anything else. They are all drifting around with their own velocities. The 'fixed' stars only look fixed because they are very far away but if you came back in 100,000 years the constellations would look different.
Which is a fixed star the sun the Proxima Centauri or the pole star?
Any star other than our own sun is a fixed star. Therefore Proxima Centauri (a red dwarf star) and the Pole Star (Polaris) are fixed stars. Note that fixed stars only appear to be fixed but are actually in motion.
Does a star have a fixed position?
Stars appear to move across the sky due to Earth's rotation, but they do have fixed positions relative to each other in the sky. These positions can be tracked using a coordinate system called right ascension and declination. However, stars themselves do move slowly over very long periods of time due to their own motion through the galaxy.
What are Characteristics of stars and planets?
Stars are large celestial bodies that generate heat and light through nuclear fusion, while planets are smaller bodies that orbit stars. Stars emit their own light, while planets reflect light from stars. Planets generally have solid surfaces and can support life, while stars are gaseous and have extreme temperatures.
Are stars the only fixed objects in the galaxy?
No. Stars are not fixed objects.
What is a fixed location in a space?
A fixed location in a space is called a fixed star.
What is a fixed location in a space called?
A fixed location in a space is called a fixed star.
Ursa Major Orion and Andromeda are fixed groups of stars What are such fixed groups of stars called?
constellations
What is a fixed pattern of stars?
a constellation
What is the duration of Space Stars?
The duration of Space Stars is 3600.0 seconds.

When did Space Stars end?
Space Stars ended on 1982-09-11.
When was Space Stars created?
Space Stars was created on 1981-09-12.
Why do space have stars?
We have stars because the main star is the sun and there is other stars in space that are luminous globes of heat.
Is there a fixed point in space?
No, there is not.
What star is considered fixed star?
All the visible stars are considered fixed stars to distinguish them from the planets that wander round among the fixed stars. Some nearby stars appear to move very slowly with what is called 'proper motion'; but it takes thousands of years for the shapes of the constellations to change even slightly.
