In actuality, those stars may be just as far apart from each other as they are from us, and are most likely hundreds/thousands of light-years away from each other. To sum it all up, all of those stars are different distances from the Earth.

Asked by Wiki User

If you spend any time outside at night looking at the stars, you may have noticed

that they're constantly moving. The Big Dipper turns completely around the Pole Star

every day, almost like the hand of a huge clock. So, if you pick any star at all in the sky,

except for the Pole Star itself, the altitude and azimuth of any star you pick are constantly

changing.
