What is circumpolar when is it visible and list two circumpolar constellations?
At the poles half the sky is circumpolar all the time but you only get to see the stars in winter. They seem to go round a vertical axis. In typical northern hemisphere places constellations like Ursa Minor, Draco, Cassiopeia, Perseus and Cepheus are cirumpolar. If you go to North Norway other constellations like Gemini are circumpolar. It depends on your latitude.

What is constelltion?
A feoup of stars, that the ancients saw figues of animals, and people in. Probably the most famous constellations are, Orion, ( with his belt), and Ursa Minor ( Little Bear) with the (North) Pole Star.
Why were stars used to know where to go?
Because from Earth, the constellations appear to be consistent in shape, and are thus identifiable by eye. Some, like the North Star, are in a consistent position throughout the year.
Is the Coma Berenice's Constellation a right angle triangle?
No. It looks more like a rectangle to me. However, it isn't an exact rectangle either. This constellation, and constellations in general, are separated from other constellations by vertical and horizontal lines (more precisely, lines that go from north to south, and lines that go from east to west).
Why did you use constellations?
Constellations are used to identify groups of stars in the sky. It is easier to refer to the 88 constellations than to remember the location of each star. It's like dividing a city into neighborhoods, instead of houses.
What characteristic classifies a constellation as circumpolar?
Circumpolar, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Technically, a circumpolar constellation is one that never sets, but just goes around the elevated pole. That's the north star Polaris in the northern hemisphere, or the blank spot of space above the south pole. This, however, depends on your latitude; the higher your latitude, the more constellations are "circumpolar" for you. I live near Sacramento, CA, USA, at latitude about 38 degrees north, so any constellation within 38 degrees of Polaris is "circumpolar" for me. That includes constellations such as Ursa Major, Cassiopeia, and Draco, but not constellations like Orion.
