How come star constellations stay the same but planets are seen in different places at different times?

The constellations are so much further than the planets are.
If you look at some tall buildings against a distant landmark, as you move the distance between the buildings seems to change much more than the distance between them and the landmark.

Why do you see different constellations at different points of the year?
The sun is always in different places at different times.
What is the uses of constlation?
Constellations are used for navigating. Since different constellations appear in different parts of the world at different times of the year, if you know the approximate time of the year you can figure out where you are by the constellations.
Do you see the same constellations every day?
No - as Earth goes around the sun, we see different parts of space and different patterns of stars as they come into view. Different constellations are visible during different times of the year.
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.
How many constellations can you find in the night star?
At different times of night and in different seasons of the year, I can find about 30 of them.
Why do you see different constellations at different points of the year?
The sun is always in different places at different times.
Why you see different constellations at different times in the year?
because the world is in different places around the sun at different times of the year therefore you would see different constalations
Why do you see different constellation at different times?
Because the times differs from the constellations.

When were constellations found by scientists?
They were all found at different times, there is no exact date

Why are constellations seen in different places at different times?
There are two reasons. First, the Earth is rotating, so over the course of a night they seem to move across the sky. Second, the Earth is orbiting the sun, so we are looking at different parts of the sky throughout the year. However, at the same time on the same date of the year, you will see the constellations in the same places. So you can tell the time of year and even the time of night by looking at them.

What motion of earth makes it seem as if the stars and constellations are in different positions at different times of the year?
Earth orbiting the sun
Why do we see different constellations at different times of the year?
Earth revolves,so we can see different parts of the night Sky as it orbits the sun
How did Ptolemy explain the change of constellations during the year?
All the constellations were fixed to a crystal sphere that rotates at a slightly different rate from the Sun's rotation rate. So while the Sun goes round 365 times in a year, the sphere of the constellations go round 366 times.
