Do you have see the same stars and constellations at different times of the year?

Yes we do, we all see the same star every night. But if you are in a certain spot you can see the constellations. Not all can see the constellations. If you can you are very lucky.


Are all constellations visible all the time?

No. As we orbit the Sun different constellations become visible, but we can only see them when it is dark. Constellations are in the sky during daylight, but the Sun is so bright, we cannot see them. A few months after that, they start to be visible in the evenings and soon at night, by which time other constellations are in daylight and cannot be seen. You will see any constellation at the same time of year, every year. So the constellations you see in the night sky tonight are the same as the ones you will see on this date in any other year. The only thing that will differ is where the Moon and planets are.


Can you see the same constellations from another planet?

From all the planets in the solar system one can see the same constellations, because the distances to the stars are so great.


Will you be able to see the same constellations next month?

All the stars you see in the sky at any time tonight will be in exactly the same places a month from now, only 2 hours earlier.


Why cant you see all constellations throughout the year?

As we orbit the sun certain constellations are actually in the sky during the day. It is then too bright to see them. If you put a lamp in the middle of a room and stared at it, it would be difficult to see what is behind it, but if you turn around the things that are behind you are easy to see. If you then go to the other side of the lamp, now the things that were easy to see are hard to see because the lamp is in front of them and the things that you couldn't see originally you can see very easily. That is how it is with different constellations as we go around the sun. At different times of year you can see different constellations. Whatever time of year it is, at that time every year, the same constellations are visible.

The change of the constellations' appearance in the sky from month to month is due to?

This is due to Earth traveling around the Sun... it takes a year for this to happen. Which is why you see the same constellations in the sky the same time every year.

Compare the constellations you could observe on July 21 and January 21 at 900 PM Tell what you conclude about observing stars in different seasons?

If I go out and look at the same time of night, then almost all of the constellations I see in January are completely different from the ones I see in July. Even the ones that are the same, up there near the North Star, are tipped around in completely different positions. From this experience, I conclude that if you go out and look at the same time of night every time, then most of the constellations you can see, and the position of the ones up there near the North Star, are different in different seasons.
