Nothing in this universe is permanent unless the impermanence itself.
Everything is constantly changing. Even mountain we saw ten minutes ago is never the same as it is now. The sun that looks the same long ago loses millions of tons of mass every single second.
But why does our mind play tricks in the brain that cause us to think something is permanent or has never changed a bit?
Impermanence does not only apply to the things we see, it also applies to thoughts, feelings and perceptions.
Impermanence can cause suffering, only a wise person can see that things happen as they are, he is not attached to anything, so impermanence will not cause him suffering.
