If you're anywhere south of about 35 degrees north latitude, then at least part of the Big Dipper rises and sets; that is, there are some parts of some nights when not all of its stars are visible. If you're farther south than about 40 degrees south latitude, then none of the stars in the Big Dipper is ever visible to you.
