The solar day is 24 hours long; from the Sun overhead to the Sun overhead the next day takes 24 hours. However, the sidereal day - from a star overhead to the star overhead the next night - is only 23 hours 56 minutes. The stars appear to rise 4 minutes earlier each night.
So if Sirius rises at 10PM one night, it will rise at 9:56 PM the next night.

What is the first star to come out at night?
"Star light, Star bright, First star I see tonight..." Well, it probably won't RHYME, but the "first star to come out at night" may well be a planet; either Venus or Jupiter, depending on the time of year. In the winter, the brightest stars in the Eastern sky, where it gets dark before the setting sun has completely faded, are Rigel and Betelgeuse in the constellation Orion, or Sirius, which rises about an hour later. During the summer, the "first star" may be Vega, especially if it is very high in the sky; almost right overhead.
