This question is so broad that it is difficult to know what you are looking for in an answer, but I'll give you the basics: Stars appear in the night sky to be distinct points of bright light. If they "twinkle" a great deal it means the atmosphere is somewhat turbulent - on a perfectly clear, still night, they do not twinkle. Careful observation of them under very dark conditions shows that they seem to vary in color (which they indeed do), red stars being most obvious, and you will also discern yellow, white and bluish-white. Their color is a function of their temperature. Some are very bright, some are so dim as to be barely visible. This sometimes has to do with their size, but much more often has to do with their relative distance from us. And lastly, every single star you can see on a clear night is within our own Milky Way galaxy. Even the farthest away ones are still, celestially speaking, in our "neighborhood".

The Earth turns around it and since gravity gives us the ullution we are standing still the sun appears to travel across the sky. Like when you are in a car if you pretend the car is standing still the trees look like they're moving by you very fast but it's actually the other way around.
