Why the big dipper is in four different positions?

The Big Dipper appears in different positions throughout the night and across different seasons due to the Earth's rotation and orbit around the Sun. As the Earth spins on its axis, the stars, including the Big Dipper, seem to move across the sky. Additionally, as the Earth orbits the Sun, the angle from which we view the stars changes, causing their positions to shift gradually over the course of the year. This combination of rotation and orbital movement results in the Big Dipper's varying positions in the night sky.
