LeoThe moon.
no
yes, they do. The planets wander through the constellations of the zodiac, as do the moon and sun. They all travel on a very narrow path of sky called the Ecliptic - and the constellations along the ecliptic are the constellations of the zodiac. Zodiac is a Greek word that means "ring of animals".
From the moon the constellations would not be very different as seen from Earth, so a star atlas used on Earth would be ok to use on the moon.

yeah but they wont be in the same orientation
There are 12 constellations that the moon passes in front of. They are not all exactly the same size. On average, the moon would be about 2 days and 7 hours in front of each constellation.
Different constellations, groupings of stars, are visible during different points in the earth's elliptical cycle. So, on some nights, the angles between the stars and earth do not allow for a good view of certain constellations. Another factor in visibility of cosmic structures is the fact that the moon is considerably larger and closer than many stars. Light pollution also accounts for obscuring the view of many stars and constellations.
These are the ZODIACAL CONSTELLATIONS - the constellations of the zodiac.
There are no constellations in the Earth. They are in space. There are 88 official constellations.
Constellations are patterns of stars, so stars cannot be constellations.
