I have some very basic atronomy questions that either I did not get answers to when I googled it or did not get very good explanation on the subject. So asking it here in this forum. I hope you guys do not mind answering such basics.
1) When I get out of my house at night and look at the sky at the certain degree while standing outside my door, will I see the same set of stars at any time of the night and any night of the year at the same degree? If the answer is "No" can you give me explanation of all the movements that are causing the starts to shift the position and how? i.e Earths rotation, Earths revolution, the Sun moving around center of Galaxy (while taking the Earth along)
2) Will people in Sothern and Northern Hemisphere see the same set of starts at night?
3) Will people in the East and West see the same set of starts at night?
4) There are few stars that I see at night, I would like to know more about those particular stars. i.e how far they are, have we named them? how big they are, etc etc. Where should I start looking about all of this?
