∙ 10y agoCassiopeia, 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.

∙ 14y agoIf 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.

∙ 13y agoThere 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.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThat 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.

∙ 12y agoAll 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.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agobecause the earth orbits the sun, we are rotating and see different parts of the night sky each night.

∙ 10y agoCassiopeia, Draco, Ursa Minor, Vulpecula, Lyra, Camelopardus, Cepheus, Perseus plus probably some more. In northern Canada you can add Auriga, Gemini.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoAll stars within (your latitude) of the celestial pole are above your horizon all the time,
and are visible to you whenever it's dark enough.

What Constellations are visible all year?
The constellations near the plane of the ecliptic (the zodiacal constellations) are only visible at certain times of the year. The constellations towards the poles (N and S) are visible at all times of the year from their respective hemispheres. In the South, the Southern Cross would be one example and in the North the Great Bear (or plough) would be another.
Why do some constellations such as ursa minor are visble in the sky year round other constellations appear for only part of the year?
What constellations are circumpolar (visible all year, at any time of the night) depends on your latitude. If you are (for example) at a latitude of 50° north, then any start that is 50° or less from the sky's north pole will never go below the horizon. For a more detailed explanation, read the Wikipedia article on "Circumpolar star".
How did Ptolemy explain the change of constellations during the year?
All the constellations were fixed to a crystal sphere that rotates at a slightly different rate from the Sun's rotation rate. So while the Sun goes round 365 times in a year, the sphere of the constellations go round 366 times.
What is the most visible constellation in Florida?
The question is essentially meaningless. Some constellations are composed of only faint stars and are therefore hard to see; some are around the South Pole and not visible from Florida at all, but there really is no such thing as the "most visible" constellation. To the extent the question makes any sense, one might answer Canis Majoris, which contains the brightest star in the night sky and is visible for about half of the year from Florida. Another good answer might be Ursa Major, which has several fairly bright stars and is visible year-round.
What constellations are visible in the summer from 2am to 5am?
Depends where you live.
Why aren't all constellations visible all year?
Circumpolar constellations are visible all year long, depending on where you are viewing them from. At the north pole, or the south pole, some constellations are visible year-round, these are the circumpolar constellations. On the equator, there are no circumpolar constellations because of the earths rotation, that is why circumpolar constellations are at the "poles". Some of the circumpolar constellations can also be viewed from other parts of the same hemisphere, such as the big dipper and the little dipper, although they are circumpolar, they are also seen in other parts of the northern hemisphere. Circumpolar constellations in the northern hemisphere, will never be seen at the south pole, and vice versa. I hope this helped.

These are called circumpolar constellations.

Depends where you live....
What are the only constellations visible all year long?
The region of the sky visible all year round is called "circumpolar". What stars and constellations are included there depends on your geographical location. For example, for somebody living 30 degrees south of the equator, a region around the south pole of the sky, with a radius of 30 degrees, would be circumpolar.
What years are what constellatlon?
The same constellations are visible every year. There is not a year associated with a particular constellation.
What are the most visible constellations from NJ?
The Big Dipper and the Ursa Major are the most visible constellations from NJ. The May constellations that contains over 200 galaxies is also one of the most visible constellations from NJ.
Are all constellations visible all the time?
No. As we orbit the Sun different constellations become visible, but we can only see them when it is dark. Constellations are in the sky during daylight, but the Sun is so bright, we cannot see them. A few months after that, they start to be visible in the evenings and soon at night, by which time other constellations are in daylight and cannot be seen. You will see any constellation at the same time of year, every year. So the constellations you see in the night sky tonight are the same as the ones you will see on this date in any other year. The only thing that will differ is where the Moon and planets are.
Why do some constellations such as ursa minor are visble in the sky year round other constellations appear for only part of the year?
What constellations are circumpolar (visible all year, at any time of the night) depends on your latitude. If you are (for example) at a latitude of 50° north, then any start that is 50° or less from the sky's north pole will never go below the horizon.

Why are certain constellations put on the circumpolar constellation chart and other are on the equatorial constellation chart?
because the circumpolar constellations are visible all year long and the others are not.
