What constellations are visible year round?

Answer 1

you can use Google earth's google sky feature. Use google earth software to go to your current location. Next switch to google sky mode and you will see the night sky. the only downside is it doesn't compensate for time of year.

Answer 2

Some constellations that are visible year-round from most locations include Ursa Major (containing the Big Dipper), Orion, Cassiopeia, and the Southern Cross (for observers in the Southern Hemisphere). These constellations are circumpolar, meaning they never set below the horizon due to their proximity to the celestial poles.

Answer 3

Cassiopeia, Ursa Minor (contains little dipper), and Ursa Major (contains the big dipper), Camelopardalis, Cepheus, Draco.

There are more if you include just parts of constellations.

Bear in mind Canada is a big country and constellations vary in size.

The answer will vary depending on your latitude.

Answer 4

The generic term is circumpolar constellations.

Which constellations are circumpolar depends on where on Earth you are. If you're

at one of the poles, all the constellations you can see are circumpolar; if you're at

the equator, there are no circumpolar constellations.

Anything in the sky that's within (your latitude) of either celestial pole never sets

below your horizon.

Answer 5

If you stand at the north or south pole, you see ALL of the constellations in either the north or the south
1/2 of the sky whenever your sky is dark and clear.

If you stand on the equator, then you see ALL of the visible stars and constellations in the entire sky during
a clear 12-hour period of darkness.

Anywhere between the equator and the pole, the total amount of the sky that you can EVER see, as well as
the amount of the sky that NEVER sets below your horizon, both depend on your latitude.

From the continental US, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Casseopeia, and Draco never set, whereas Orion,
Canis Major, Canis Minor, and Taurus are visible for about 9 months of the year centered on Winter.

Answer 6

That all depends on where on Earth you live. Whatever your latitude is, you

can draw an imaginary circle around the pole of the sky, with the radius of the

circle equal to your latitude. All the stars inside that circle are visible all year

around, at any time of any clear night. Each of them moves in a full circle

around the pole every day, but never gets far enough away from the pole to

set beneath your horizon.

At the equator, latitude is zero, the poles of the sky are on the north and south

horizons, and every star in the sky rises and sets every day.

At the north and south poles, latitude is 90 degrees, the pole of the sky is directly

over your head, and no star in the sky ever rises or sets.

(Half of them are below your horizon and you never see those. The other half

are always above the horizon, and just go around and around the sky, parallel

to the horizon, every day.)

Answer 7

There are a number of constellations that are visible year around, depending on your location. In the northern hemisphere (above about 30 degrees north) the constellations of Ursa Major Draco and Cassiopeia (to name only three) are always visible.

Answer 8

That depends where you live - specifically, the latitude. For example, if you live at the equator, no stars will be circumpolar (visible all the time). If you you live 50 degrees north of the equator, any star up to 50 degrees from the celestial north pole will never go below the horizon. Etc.

Answer 9

All of them - just about. Too many to name.

My favourite winter constellation (in the north) is Orion. I don't feel winter has started until I see it.

Answer 10

because the earth orbits the sun, we are rotating and see different parts of the night sky each night.
