Which constellations can be seen all year?
The circumpolar constellations
Why aren't circumpolar constellations visible all year long?
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.
Why can't people in the north hemisphere see all constellations throughout the year?
It is because of the rotation and revolution of the Earth's axis.The Earth goes to one side of its orbit this causes the other constellations to be blocked by the sun. The change in location makes other constellations out of sight. The Earth goes away from these constellations that's why we can't see them.

Why are constellations seen in the summer sky different then in the winter sky?
This is caused by the earth's rotation around the sun. There are five constellations in the sky all year around, but the earth's rotational path will only allow us to observe the ones that are closest during that season's orbit.

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".
