Are constellations only visible in certain seasons due to the revolution of the Earth toward the constellation?

It is only partly true. Stars have latitude and longitude just as we do on Earth, but they are called Declination and Right Ascension. A star that has a declination greater than 90 minus your latitude will never set. Such stars are called circumpolar stars. I live at 35° south so stars with declination 90-35=55° will never set. For example I can always see the Southern Cross.

It is called revolution because spring is part of the whole year, & it takes a whole year for the Earth to go around the sun. The sun can change seasons depending on where the sunlight hits on Earth. So, it is revolution.
