The stars change position in the sky through the course of the night just like the sun changes position in the sky through the course of a day, they rise in the east and set in the west. If you were to start watching a star in the east at the beginning of the night and keep observing that same star for hours, you will see the star's position move across the sky and eventually drop below the western horizon. There some stars that don't rise and set through the night though. The stars near the celestial pole move in circles around the pole. There is one star in the sky that doesn't appear to move at all, because it is located in line with the Earth's axis of rotation, or in other words, on the celestial pole. This star is Polaris, or more commonly known as the North Star. The south celestial pole currently lacks a star so there is no southern hemisphere counterpart. In reality, Polaris isn't perfectly on the celestial pole so even it moves in a very small circle too small to be seen with the naked eye.
The real question is, do the stars change position with regards to each other? The answer to that is, essentially, no. We have photographic plates of stars which show very little positional change over the course of an entire year. Over thousands of years, however, star positions WOULD show noticeable variation in position. Polaris (currently our north star) will not always be where it appears to be now.

Why do the positions of the planets change in relation to the background of stars?
The positions of the planets change in relation to the background stars due to their orbits around the Sun. As the planets move along their orbit at different speeds, their position relative to the background stars appears to change from our perspective on Earth. This phenomenon is known as planetary motion and is a result of the planets' orbital dynamics.
Why do stars change position?
Stars appear to change position in the night sky due to Earth's rotation. As the Earth moves, different stars come into view while others become hidden below the horizon. This apparent motion is also influenced by the Earth's orbit around the Sun, causing the stars to shift gradually over time.
When esimating the distance of the stars from earth astronomers use the fact that nearby stars shift in position as observed from earth which is called?
Nearby stars appear to change their position against the distant background in an annual cycle, because of the Earth's changing position 'across' its orbit. This apparent shift is called the star's "parallax".
Why cant you see the stars in a few months later?
The visibility of stars at night can be affected by various factors such as light pollution, weather conditions, and the Earth's position in its orbit. In some months, certain stars may not be visible due to their position in the sky or because they are only visible during specific times of the year.
Why do the constellations seem to move as the seasons change?
As the Earth goes around the sun, it changes its position relative to the stars in those constellations. At times, some stars won't be visible as they will be behind the sun. This change in perspective isn't enough to make it appear as if they stars have taken a radically new position. They still seem to be just where they always have been. That's why the stars of each constellation stay in the shape of the constellation and instead it seems as though the whole constellation moves. Really, it's just us that are moving.
Why does Jupiter change position to the stars?
All the planets (Greek for "wanderer") change position with respect to the stars. The reason is that they orbit the sun, as does the earth.
How does the position of stars change one's fate?
They don't.
What can cause the stars to change their position?
The Earth spinning around.
Why does the position of stars seem to change as seasons change?
The earth is rotating around the sun. Therefore the position of other stars (although millions of light years away) are in different orientation to that of the earth.

Are the stars visible 7 pm still visible at 11 pm in their original position why do you see so?
Yes, relative to more distant stars, their position will not have changed. See should be changed to stay in the question.
What is the duration of Position Among the Stars?
The duration of Position Among the Stars is 1.82 hours.
Are the stars still visible in their original position?
yes, the stars are still visible in the original position
When was Position Among the Stars created?
Position Among the Stars was created on 2010-11-17.
Why do planets change their position with respect to stars?
Because the Earth and all the planets move in orbits round the Sun, while the stars appear to be fixed if we disregard the Earth's daily rotation.
