Circumpolar constellations orbit what?
Beautiful question !! Circumpolar stars and constellations are stars and constellations the "go around the pole" = Circum (circle) polar (the pole) The North Star is called "Polaris" because it's directly above Earth's North Pole - in other words, if you went to the North Pole, "polaris" would be directly over your head. Because of this, all of the stars appear to pivot around Polaris as Earth rotates. Now I don't know where you live, but if you live in the United States, Polaris would NOT be overhead - it would be lower in the sky but still in the North. The lower on the globe you live, the lower Polaris appears in the sky. So, the stars and constellations that spin around Polaris but DON'T SET, are called circumpolar stars and constellations.
Why does the number of circumpolar constellations depend on latitude?
Circumpolar Constellations are those that appear to circle the North Star, Polaris. Polaris' place in the sky changes based on the viewers latitude. The closer you get to the North Pole, the higher in the sky Polaris appears, and therefore the more constellations appear to spin around Polaris.

Constellations that circle Polaris year round?
Technically, every single one of them - but the ones that are closest are Ursa Major, Cassiopeia, Ursa Minor, Cepheus, & Draco.
Do constellations rise and set at the North Pole?
At the North Pole, constellations do not rise and set in the same way they do at lower latitudes. Instead, they circle around the North Star, Polaris, which remains nearly stationary in the sky. This means that while some constellations may be visible at certain times of the year, they will appear to move horizontally around Polaris rather than rising and setting below the horizon.
What are 5 circumpolar constellations?

What are the six circumpolar constellations?
The six circumpolar constellations visible from the northern hemisphere are Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Draco, and Camelopardalis. These constellations are positioned close to the North Pole and are visible year-round, making them prominent features of the night sky. Their positions allow them to circle around the North Star, Polaris, without setting below the horizon.
