No.
All circumpolar constellations are found near the celestial poles. Because of their proximity to the poles, they never disappear from view. Sagittarius is on the ecliptic and thus (like all other zodiac constellations) not close enough to the poles to render it circumpolar.
That depends on your geographical location. If you are at the north pole, half the stars in the sky (the northern hemisphere of the sky) will be circumpolar, the other half will never be visible. If you live near the south pole, the OTHER half, the Southern Hemisphere, will be circumpolar, while the stars in the northern hemisphere will be invisible. If you live at the equator, NO stars will be circumpolar. If - for example - you live 50 degrees north of the equator, then anything 50 degrees from the celestial north pole will be circumpolar.

Sagittarius is an ecliptic constellation because it is one of the signs the Sun and others planets travel through. Circumpolar constellations are close to the poles and thus never rise or set.
The short answer is "no".
And now, this contributor will rush in where angles fear to tread:
When you stop and think about it, the term "circumpolar" is really misleading. Everything
we see in the night sky is circumpolar, but we only use that description to mean the
things that are always up somewhere in the sky, and never set.
Now that we have that straightened out ... whether or not something in your sky sets
or always stays above the horizon completely depends on your latitude.
-- If you're on the equator, you see the entire sky, 50% at a time, and everything
you see eventually sets ... nothing is up all the time.
-- If you're at one of the poles, then you see 50% of the sky all the time, none of
what you see ever sets, and you never see the other half.
-- In between the equator and the poles, what you see falls in between those limits ...
you never see some portion of the sky at all, some portion of what you do see
eventually sets, and the rest of what you do see is circumpolar and never sets.
At the south pole, the half you always see is the southern half of the sky. At the
north pole, the half you always see is the northern half of the sky. So it seems
to me that nothing that straddles the celestial equator can be circumpolar for
anybody, no matter where he's located.
Orion straddles the celestial equator. Betelgeuse is about 7° north, and Rigel is
about 8° south. So, to cut to the chase and come out and make a bold assertion
with no regard for personal safety or appearance, I'm going to say that there's no
place on earth from which all of Orion can appear to be above the horizon continuously
for 24 hours, i.e. it's not circumpolar.
First, "circumpolar" depends on the observer. For example, a star that is 50 degrees north would be circumpolar for anybody that lives 40 degrees or more north of the equator.
Libra is part of the ecliptic, therefore near the equator of the sky; therefore, for most observers, it would not be circumpolar.
That depends on your geographical location. If you are at the north pole, half the stars in the sky (the northern hemisphere of the sky) will be circumpolar, the other half will never be visible. If you live near the south pole, the OTHER half, the southern hemisphere, will be circumpolar, while the stars in the northern hemisphere will be invisible. If you live at the equator, NO stars will be circumpolar. If - for example - you live 50 degrees north of the equator, then anything 50 degrees from the celestial north pole will be circumpolar.
Yes! And that is so when the latitude of the observer ф is more than 90 - the Sun's declanation
|ф| > 90 - e
Where e = 23.5
A circumpolar constellation is a constellation that never drops below the horizon of the viewer. The constellation Aquarius is not considered circumpolar but seasonal.
Not really. Its declination is +20 degrees, so it would only be circumpolar for somebody very near the North Pole.
No.
No they do not. By definition circumpolar stars do not "rise". They are above the observer's horizon at all times.
Circumpolar, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Technically, a circumpolar constellation is one that never sets, but just goes around the elevated pole. That's the north star Polaris in the northern hemisphere, or the blank spot of space above the south pole. This, however, depends on your latitude; the higher your latitude, the more constellations are "circumpolar" for you. I live near Sacramento, CA, USA, at latitude about 38 degrees north, so any constellation within 38 degrees of Polaris is "circumpolar" for me. That includes constellations such as Ursa Major, Cassiopeia, and Draco, but not constellations like Orion.
No there are no circumpolar constellations on the equator.
In astronomy, it is a word denoting a star that from a given observer's latitude does not go below the horizon. For instance, no matter what time of year it is, if I go out on a clear night in Britain I can always see the stars of the plough (big dipper), they are circumpolar. However I can only see Orion in winter, it is not circumpolar.
At the equator, you will see no circumpolar stars.
No they do not. By definition circumpolar stars do not "rise". They are above the observer's horizon at all times.

There's no answer to this question, because the definition of circumpolar depends on where you are. If you're at the pole, all the constellations you can see are circumpolar. If you're on the equator, there are no circumpolar constellations.

A circumpolar current is a type of current that can be found in the Antarctic region. A circumpolar current moves in a clockwise rotation.
"Circumpolar" means it is always above the horizon.
gemini is not circumpolar. the circumpolar constellations for the northern hemisphere are Cassiopeia. Ursa Minor, Draco, Cepheus, and Ursa Major.
A circumpolar star never sets below your horizon.
Inuit Circumpolar Council was created in 1977.
Most constellations are seasonal, meaning they appear in the sky during reasonable evening hours only at certain times of the year. For example, Orion is a popular winter constellation. Only circumpolar constellations are not seasonal.
All stars are circumpolar
