Earth's axis has zero effect on the stars and constellations. They aren't related in any way.

Why do we see different constellations every season?
The stars and planets are observed from the earth, and because the earth is rotating and tilting on its axis, and is also orbiting the sun, the stars and planets appear to be moving in relation to the observers view.
What causes the daily motion of the sun constellations and stars in the sky?
The sun doesn't actually move the earth moves so does the constellations and the stars. We see them move because the solar system spins on an axis just like earth but the earth moves much faster. So we see things move but at a very slow pace all day. The constellations and stars in the sky seem to move because just like all planets they move with the solar system.
Why do constellations seems to move across the sky?
It's the Earth's daily rotation that causes stars to appear to move around the sky, in 23 hours 56 minutes.The Sun appears to take 4 minutes extra, because we are also orbiting round the Sun. So it seems to go "backwards" slightly compared with the stars.
Which earth motion causes the apparent daily movement of the constellations?
The rotation of the earth around its axis.
How far is earths magnetic axis tilted from its geographic axis?
The Earth's magnetic field is tilted about 11.5 degrees from the Earth's axis of rotation (i.e. its geographic axis).
What does earths tilted axis affect?
Seasons And Climate
What can be observed by earths rotation on its axis?
The passage of the sun across the sky during daylight, and the stars circling round the axis during darkness.
How does earths axis during the winter solstice affect seasons in the northern and Southern Hemisphere?

Does the earths magnetic field cause the earth to tilt?
No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.
Why do we see different constellations every season?
The stars and planets are observed from the earth, and because the earth is rotating and tilting on its axis, and is also orbiting the sun, the stars and planets appear to be moving in relation to the observers view.
How does the tilt of earths axis and its rotation affect the weather?
The same way it affects most of earth. The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth's axis relative to the plane of its orbit.
Why are the seasons reversed in the northern and southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis is tilted.
What causes the daily motion of the sun constellations and stars in the sky?
The sun doesn't actually move the earth moves so does the constellations and the stars. We see them move because the solar system spins on an axis just like earth but the earth moves much faster. So we see things move but at a very slow pace all day. The constellations and stars in the sky seem to move because just like all planets they move with the solar system.
What does Earths magnetic axis do not do with its rotational axis?
intersect
What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if earth were to not be rotating on its axis?
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
What is the Imaginary rod on which the earth rotate?
The axis
What two things involving the earths axis are seen at night?
There is the moon, which the earth turns on it's axis and is what makes night and day. And there is the different stars that you see at night. You usually see many different stars at night (unless you happen to live in the city), because there are so many.
