Does the night side of a planet in synchronous rotation always face the same stars?

No, the part of this theoretical planet in perpetual night time will gradually scan around all of the background stars once, during one of the planets orbit of the central star.

Is night a shadow?
Yes. Night is the shadow caused by a planet (or satellite) blocking an observer's view of the sun due to the it's rotation.
Which event causes the earth to have day and night?
No "event" causes that.The continuous rotation of the planet on its polar axis it responsible for the progression of day and night.
What is meant about rotation and revolution of a planet?
Rotation of a planet means the overall time of day and night, time for rotate on its own axis. In our earth 12 hours for night and 12 hour for day, total 24 hours. In Venus it takes 117 earth days, as a matter of fact it takes 225 earth days to complete its revolution. It is depends upon gravity. Revolution is time for round round the sun. 365 days and 6 hours in earth is called a year, that means it completed one revolution. The 6 hours is counted 24 hours that means 1 day in 4 years called a leap year. That one day is added to February as 29 days.
What movement of earth is responsible for night and day?
the movement of the Earth that is responsible for day and night is rotation its axis
Do you have day and night at the same time on your planet?
Yes, all the planets which have their axis of rotation at right angles(or close to 90`) to the orbital plane will experience night and day in the same way as earth. Uranus is the exception, because its axis is almost parallel with its plane of orbit, and the axis is always pointing in the same direction. In other words, it's kind of "laying on its side", and each pole gets half a year of sunlight. So, its "day" and "night" is not the result of its rotation , but of its orbit around the sun.
What planet exhibits reverse rotation?
Venus is the planet that exhibits reverse rotation. After the Moon, the planet Venus is the brightest object in the sky at night.
Why does the length of the day and night vary from planet to planet?
Because of the difference in speed of rotation of each planet.
How does space have day and night?
It doesn't. Day and night are planetary phenomena caused by the rotation of the planet.
What type of movement causes night and day to happen on all planets?
The rotation of the earth on its axis cause day and night.
Is the changing of the seasons on this planet because of the rotation of the earth or the axial tilt of the planet?
Rotation only controls day and night. Seasons are a result of the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth.
What is one of the causes of daily varations in temperature on a planet's surface?
The main factor is the planet's rotation that gives day and night.
What motion of the planet is responsible for night and day?
Rotation around the planets central axis.
What is earth spin?
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
How does a planet create day and night?
During its rotation around its own axis half of the planet faces the sun [day] and half faces away from the sun [night] As the planet continues to turn so night slowly turns into day and then day into night and so on.
Is night a shadow?
Yes. Night is the shadow caused by a planet (or satellite) blocking an observer's view of the sun due to the it's rotation.
What planet day and night are 9 hours?
The nearest is Jupiter with a Sidereal rotation period of 9.925 hours
Does the outer core spin?
When Earth's core spins, the planet turns on its axis and completes its rotation. One complete rotation is one day and night.
