I hope you did not rely on those answers. Actually NO we do not see the same amount of stars every night. In fact some or most of the stars that you are seeing aren't even there anymore. The Stars are so far away that we are still seeing delayed light. The speed of light may seem fast, but not when you are millions of miles away.

No. You would not see the same bunch of stars every time you gaze at the sky. Even if you are at the same location on earth, the earth rotates as well as revolves in the space. This would change the focus of your eye. So when you look into the sky, you'd find a different set of stars at different locations as visible from the position of the earth in the space! Further even if you assume the earth to be stationary, the set of start that you see would vary in due course of time (its because the stars keep dying every second!)

No, you do not see the same stars every night. The stars that you see in the summer will vary from those that are visible in the winter. This is due to the tilt of the earth's axis. There are obviouslly some stars that you can see all the time and these are located on or around the epliptic (the path that the sun takes in the sky throughout the year).

Yes we do pretty much. If you were to look up at the same time from a point other than the north or south pole, you would see the same stars. However each night their is slight imperceptible difference due to the earth tilting on it's axis (the same tilt that gives us our seasons). Over the course of a year you would notice differences. Particularly Orion which is only visible in the evening during the months of November-April or so. Other constellations like the dippers and Cassiopeia are circumpolar and can be seen year round.

No , we do not see bunch of stars in the sky every night because as the earth keeps on rotating &revolving the location of earth keeps on changing but stars are stationary so we see different stars everyday. and even if you have noticed the star do not appear at same place which was present on the previous day

Because the Earth has an axial tilt of more than 23 degrees, and revolves around Sol, while rotating as well, we get to see some different stars at different times of the year, but most are always in view.

No, the simplest way to put it is that the visible ´heaven´covers 360 degs, at a single fixed location point on or near the equator, with a single fixed observation time, it takes one full solar year to scan the complete array of visible stars in our relative sky.

If the observation point is close to either pole, then a large portion of the actual sky will never appear..............or at least we hope not !
