No. The Earth's movements, both in its orbit around the Sun and its daily rotation, makes it APPEAR as if the constellations are moving, but in fact the stars don't move enough in a human lifetime for anyone to notice it.

∙ 11y agoNot in the time of a single night, nor even in a year, but over centuries, yes: the proper motion of the various stars does alter the shape of the asterisms (which most folks call constellations). [To be strictly accurate, a "constellation" in modern terms is an area of the sky, rather like political borders on a map.]

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.

What planets are called the wandering stars?
All of them because they wander around in the sky and move between different constellatons, while the stars stay 'fixed'. They move in orbits round the Sun and all of them keep within a narrow belt of the sky near a line called the ecliptic that defines the plane of the Earth's orbit.
