gemini is not circumpolar. the circumpolar constellations for the northern hemisphere are Cassiopeia. Ursa Minor, Draco, Cepheus, and Ursa Major.
The five circumpolar constellations are Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Draco,Cassiopeia, and Cepheus. Each are constellations in the Northern Hemisphere that circle the pole star Polaris.
Draco is just west (higher longitude) of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. All three are "circumpolar" constellations visible for most of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

The ursa-major-and-ursa-minorlooks like a miniature and much fainter version of the well-known big-dipper.

The North Circumpolar.
The five circumpolar constellations are Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Draco,Cassiopeia, and Cepheus. Each are constellations in the Northern Hemisphere that circle the pole star Polaris.
Ursa Minor, Draco, Cepheus, Cassiopeia, Camelopardus, Perseus, most of Auriga, most of Ursa Major, part of Lyra are a few.
Draco is just west (higher longitude) of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. All three are "circumpolar" constellations visible for most of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
Ursa Major is a circumpolar constellation, i.e. it never rises or sets in the northern hemisphere (and never seen in the southern hemisphere).The Zodiac constellations and signs go around the central band of the sky from tropic to tropic and crossing the equator.So Ursa Major isn't a Zodiac constellation.
No, it isn't. It's just the tail of the bigger constellation Ursa Major, or the Big Bear. Same with the Little Dipper- it's the tail of Ursa Minor, or the Little Bear.

there are no specific three. The five northern hemisphere ones are Ursa major, Ursa minor, (big bear little bear) Draco the dragon , Cassiopeia and Cepheus. The 3 southern ones are Carina, southern cross, and Centaurus
Northern circumpolar constellations revolve around the north celestial pole in a counterclockwise manner. They never seem to rise or set, in regards to the horizon. Every 24 hours they seem to complete a revolution around Polaris, the North Star. Because the Earth is a sphere, the number of circumpolar constellations that one sees depends on one's location from the North Pole. At the North Pole, every constellation in the night sky is circumpolar. Below the equator, one cannot see a single circumpolar constellation. These are the common circumpolar constellations of 40-50 degrees N latitude: Ursa Major Ursa Minor Cassiopeia Cepheus Draco
Ursa Major IS a constellation.
