Can't redraw an image in space

I am getting some practice with SDL. I currently am drawing space with classes star, sun, and earth. I can get everything to render to the screen but when I move the sun with the right arrow key, I can't figure out how to delete the old sun to simulate that the view is rotating around the sun. It just creates a big line across the screen. I think I need to clear the screen, redraw the stars, sun, and earth every time the key is down. However, I can't redraw the stars because they fall out of scope and if I recreate them they will be in a different position since I use rand() to randomize their locations. I have hit a big wall and would appreciate any advice.

The code:

// Planet.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <SDL.h>
#include <SDL_gfxPrimitives.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

EDIT

Since my last answer was rubbish, I try again:

Yes, indeed, the stars are going out of scope since they are declared in the loop. What you could do is to save every star in an array, but this is a huge waste of bytes.

A better approach in my opinion is to draw all stars in a surface, and blit it on the screen every time you need it. This should be fast and memory efficient. I'll sho a short sample:

Uint32 rmask, gmask, bmask, amask;

    /* SDL interprets each pixel as a 32-bit number, so our masks must depend
       on the endianness (byte order) of the machine */
#if SDL_BYTEORDER == SDL_BIG_ENDIAN
    rmask = 0xff000000;
    gmask = 0x00ff0000;
    bmask = 0x0000ff00;
    amask = 0x000000ff;
#else
    rmask = 0x000000ff;
    gmask = 0x0000ff00;
    bmask = 0x00ff0000;
    amask = 0xff000000;
#endif
SDL_Surface* star_surface = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE, 1361, 766, 32, rmask, gmask, bmask, amask);

And now, you draw your stars into this surface:

...
Star star(star_surface, x+(rand()%30), y+(rand()%30), 0+(rand()%1), 235+rand()%21, 235+rand()%21, 235+rand()%21, 205+rand()%51);
star.Show();
...

Any time you need it, you blit this surface as a background to your screen using this function:

int SDL_BlitSurface(SDL_Surface *src, SDL_Rect *srcrect, SDL_Surface *dst, SDL_Rect *dstrect);
