The rotation of the Earth will make stars appear to move in the perception of a viewer. The reality, of course, is they're much to far away to actually move visibly in a single night - their position can vary based on seasons, but relative to one another, there won't be a visible movement. The planets, of course, *do* move, and the observable motion is much greater than that of stars. The word itself comes from "wanderer", in Greek, due to the fact they did move so much in relation to the background, which seemed relatively fixed to observers of the era.
