Why are these not included in constellations because their positions in the sky are not fixed?
Objects that are not included in constellations, such as planets and some stars, are excluded because their positions change over time due to their orbits or movement through space. Unlike fixed stars that maintain consistent locations relative to one another, these celestial bodies exhibit noticeable motion against the backdrop of the fixed stars. This dynamic nature makes it difficult to define a stable pattern or grouping, which is essential for the classification of constellations. Consequently, constellations are primarily based on static arrangements of stars that remain relatively unchanged over human timescales.
