It's because as we go round the Sun, the dark side of the Earth looks out in a slightly different direction each night. The direction changes by a little under 1 degree from one night to the next, so that after a year the stars appear to be back where they started a year ago.

Do star patterns change from night to day?
No. Because when the Earth is rotating that is how we get night and day. But the stars don't change from night and day.
How do constellations die?
Constellations do not actually "die" as they are simply patterns of stars that appear from our perspective on Earth. Over time, the positions of stars within constellations may change due to the stars' own movement through space, but the overall shape or pattern of a constellation remains a part of our cultural and astronomical history.
Why do the difference between two stars does not appear to change?
Does the question mean the distance between two stars? It does change, but very slowly on a human time scale. In 100,000 years most of the familiar constellations will look quite different.
Do the constellation patterns ever change?
No, the pattern of stars that make up a constellation does not change. However, the positions of the stars relative to Earth may change due to Earth's rotation and orbit. Over thousands of years, the positions of stars in constellations may drift slightly.

What is the term for a group of stars that appear to form patterns in the night sky?
Constellations, but they are an illusion.
Why the moon stars and sun appear to change positions in the sky?
The sun and stars change positions because Earth moves
How can an observer from earth distinguish planets from stars?
-- The planets you can see with your naked eye are generally brighter than a typical star. -- They also twinkle less than the stars do. -- Planets appear as small disks even in binoculars or small telescopes, but stars never do. -- From one night to the next, or certainly from one week to the next, the patterns formed by stars don't change, but planets move through those patterns.
Why do patterns of stars in the sky stay the same although they appear to move across the sky nightly?
The patterns appear the same because the stars are so far away that their movement is not apparent to our eyes. They move across the sky because the earth is rotating and that makes it look like the stars are moving. Just like the sun does not move across the sky, the earth rotates and the sun appears to move, the same is with the stars.
Is constellation a group of stars that appear to make a pattern?
Yes, a constellation is a group of stars that appear to form a recognizable pattern or shape when viewed from Earth. These patterns have been named and recognized by various cultures throughout history.
Are constellations made up of stars?
Yes, constellations are groupings of stars that form recognizable patterns in the night sky. They are not physical groupings of stars but appear to be connected based on how they are viewed from Earth.
Do constellations change shape?
No, constellations do not change shape. They are patterns of stars in the sky that have been identified and named by astronomers. However, the positions of the stars in the sky may change over time due to the Earth's rotation and orbit around the Sun, but the overall shape of the constellation remains the same.
Do star patterns change from night to day?
No. Because when the Earth is rotating that is how we get night and day. But the stars don't change from night and day.
Why stars changes their light?
Stars do not "change their light" as you put it, it is the atmosphere of our planet fogging it up like heat above a radiator making the star appear to "change its light"
How do constellations die?
Constellations do not actually "die" as they are simply patterns of stars that appear from our perspective on Earth. Over time, the positions of stars within constellations may change due to the stars' own movement through space, but the overall shape or pattern of a constellation remains a part of our cultural and astronomical history.
Do constellations change over time?
Yes, constellations appear to change positions in the sky over time due to the phenomenon known as precession. This is caused by the slow wobbling of the Earth's axis, altering our perspective of the stars' positions in the sky over thousands of years. So while the constellations themselves are fixed patterns of stars, their apparent positions from Earth do change over long periods.
