How early people use constellation?

ancient people sed constellations civilizations ago to tell time, not time in a day rather to tell when to sow, harvest and etc. this was successful for the time as constellations were patterns in the sky and important ones, those used to tell time, were easily remembered.


Why cant you see all constellations throughout the year?

As we orbit the sun certain constellations are actually in the sky during the day. It is then too bright to see them. If you put a lamp in the middle of a room and stared at it, it would be difficult to see what is behind it, but if you turn around the things that are behind you are easy to see. If you then go to the other side of the lamp, now the things that were easy to see are hard to see because the lamp is in front of them and the things that you couldn't see originally you can see very easily. That is how it is with different constellations as we go around the sun. At different times of year you can see different constellations. Whatever time of year it is, at that time every year, the same constellations are visible.

If you could see stars in the daytime what constellation would you see at noon on a winter day?

Great question - you would see the same constellations in the sky on a Winter day that you would see in the sky on a Summer night. And there are too many to mention here - almost 40+ 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.
