Can you see the big dipper in SE Florida in October at night?
Yes, you can see it anywhere in the world from Earth. As long as its night but, it might be in a different position in the sky during the different seasons.
Will the position of the big dipper change in two hours of the same night?
I don't kow!! I was asking you!!!
Where is the big dipper found in the night sky?
next to the small dipper
When does the big dipper not appear in the night sky?
-- At any time of night when there is a cloud cover in the north. -- At some part of every night when the observer is located more than 30 degrees south of the equator.
Whereabouts in the night sky can one find the Little Dipper?
The location of the Little Dipper changes from night to night (although circling around every once in a long while). In order to find it, one needs to look for Polaris, or the "North Star". Polaris is part of the Little Dipper. If you know where the Big Dipper is, you can find the Little Dipper near it.

Why does the big dipper change its position over night while the polar remain in its position?
The Earth's Orbit, its axis is aligned with Polaris.
How does the big dipper change with the seasons?
From the viewpoint of the Earth, all the constellations 'revolve' around Polaris (the North star. As the Earth orbits the sun, its relative position to the constellations changes - and they appear to move across the night-sky.
What causes the stars in the sky to appear to be moving?
The Earth's rotation. The relation between the Earth (or a person on the Earth) and the position of the stars makes it appear that the stars are in a different position as the night progresses.
If you look at the big dipper at two different hours of the same night is its orientation position in the sky the will it change?
Technically, yes. But not fast enough for the change to be noticeable in the course of a human lifetime. I've seen a drawing of what the shape of the Big Dipper will look like in 1,000 years from now. It's different, but clearly recognizable as the same Big Dipper.

Fantastic question - The Big Dipper circles around Polaris, The North Star throughout the night.

What is the motion of the big dipper over the course of a year?
Viewed from anywhere in the USA, the Big Dipper makes a complete revolutionaround the North Star ... like the hands of a clock ... every day.On the scale of a year, it reaches any certain position about 4 minutes earlierevery night, so that in the course of a year, it reaches that position 24 hoursearlier than it did 365 nights before.
