Why do the constellations seem to move as the seasons change?
As the Earth goes around the sun, it changes its position relative to the stars in those constellations. At times, some stars won't be visible as they will be behind the sun. This change in perspective isn't enough to make it appear as if they stars have taken a radically new position. They still seem to be just where they always have been. That's why the stars of each constellation stay in the shape of the constellation and instead it seems as though the whole constellation moves. Really, it's just us that are moving.
How is it possible to change asterism in a constellation?
You can pick any group of stars that seem to form a certain shape. That would be an asterism.
How do you know if a constellation is circumpolar?
It is a constellation that never sets due to its proximity to one of the celestial poles. This means that unlike some constellations, it is always visible on any clear night of the year. You will notice when you observe it throughout the year, that it does seem to change position, as it rotates around the celestial pole. Ursa Major is probably the best known of them.
What causes the position of a constellation to appear to change over a period of several hours?
On a daily basis, the rotation of the Earth. On a seasonal basis, the motion of the Earth around the sun. Over the long term ... they're all independently moving around the center of the galaxy.

Why does the position of stars seem to change as seasons change?
The earth is rotating around the sun. Therefore the position of other stars (although millions of light years away) are in different orientation to that of the earth.
Is a star a constellation?
No, constellations are made up of groups of stars that seem to form patterns in the sky, so no constellation consists of a single star.
What is the change in position of an object in relation to the position of some fixed object?
The change in position of an object in relation to a fixed object is called displacement. It is a vector quantity that measures the distance and direction between the initial and final positions of the object.
Is omega constellation a reliable jeweler?
Omega constellation seems like a iffy jeweler. I went and checked out the website and it does not seem to have any trusted programs on there. If I were you I'd avoid it.
What motion of earth makes it seem as if the stars and constellation are in different positions at different times of the year?
Earth orbiting the sun
Why do stars seem to change their colors?

No, it is a planet. However, it is called "The Evening Star" as well as "The Morning Star" as that is when is most often seen by the naked eye. A constellation is a visual pattern of stars that seem to be grouped together.
