If Orion is visible in the south at 6 PM, then we know that it is around April, and that it will set around midnight.

Interesting thing about star observations; the time, your location, and the elevation and azimuth of the star. If you know any two with sufficient accuracy, you can calculate the third VERY precisely.

What motion cvauses the constellation Orion to be visible at midnight fron New York in winter but not in summe?

the position of the Earth at different times of the year. Sometimes when it is night, you can see Orion. This is because the night side of the Earth is pointing at Orion. On the other side of the sun, the night side is facing in the opposite direction. Away from Orion. Therefore you can't see it. This is characteristic of all locations on Earth but on the other side of the Earth, you would see it in the summer instead.


Is Orion visible at 11 pm on the Fourth of July?

No. The best place to see Orion from is on the equator ... that's where it spends the most hours above the horizon. Even there, on the 4th of July, Orion isn't completely risen until 6 AM, and it's completely set by 6 PM. So July seems like a particularly poor time to try and see Orion.

Why can't the Orion be seen in the summer?

Orion can be seen in the summer - if you live in the Southern Hemisphere. Remember, if it's Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it's Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. By the time it's Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, our planet is on the other side of the sun. Which means that Orion is up during the day and the sunlight makes it impossible to see.
