It is a combination of how the Earth is rotating and orbiting the Sun. If you stand in one spot and look up, and start turning, everything above you will appear to be going around in a circle. This is the same effect. As the Earth orbits the Sun, stars appear to be in slightly different positions at the same time from night. At the same night each year, the stars you see are the same. Stars that are lower in the sky disappear at certain times of the year. Ones that are high overhead can be seen all year, though they also appear to circle.
