The reason you can’t see (all of) the stars from where you normally live is because you are too far away from them.
As you recede farther and farther from any object/light source, it approaches, then converges, and then is (ostensibly) obscured by/“behind/over” the apparent horizon.
The reasons this happens are due to perspective, and due to refraction caused by the density gradient in our air which tends to cause light which travels through it to curve convexly towards the ground.
I don't think that you actually understand any of the words you use there but please show me the calculations and distances involved.
How far away from the constellation of Orion am I on the Northern Hemisphere and how far on the Southern and what exactly is the cut-off distance beyond which it isn't visible anymore?

Lol.
but please show me the calculations and distances involved.
Calculations are what we contrive AFTER we measure first. If you want to calculate, make some measurements of the same star in the same position (multiple nights, obviously) from different known distances/locations to it and extrapolate from there. You will see that it does exactly as i said; as you recede the star will lower in azimuth until it converges with the horizon and you can’t see it anymore. Do you honestly doubt that?

I’m sure those answers are available to you if you want to go find them. It’s pretty standard astronomy stuff - go look it up if you’re interested! It doesn’t have much to do with what you asked though - that will just tell you how far you’ll have to travel to “restore” the stars you can’t see anymore.
I am talking about why you can’t see them anymore (they’re too far away), which is a different matter than how far you need to travel to restore them.
I am currently in Africa and cannot see any of the star constellations that I can usually see.
Can a flat earther explain that?
Sure. (though “flat earthers” don’t really exist)

The light from stars travels billions of light years only to be blocked by someone travelling to the other side of a flat earth. Makes total sense.
As usual, Flat Earthers are unable to actually substantiate their idiotic fantasies
