It depends where you are on Earth. You can see it all year round from many places
in the Northern Hemisphere. The constellations are called "circumpolar" when they
are always above the horizon, but it does depend on the latitude of the observer.

What is the temperature of Ursa major?
Ursa Major isn't a physical object. It's a specific region of the sky containing millions of stars, most of them in distant galaxies far too dim to see. Since it has no "surface" the question is meaningless (it's like asking what color F sharp is).
When is it the best time to see Ursa Minor aka The Little Dipper?
At night. Once it's dark enough, it really doesn't matter; as long as you are north of about 30N, it'll be visible all night. One problem; the stars in Ursa Minor are all fairly dim. If you are in or near a city, it will be VERY difficult to see. Try going out into the country away from the city lights.
Who discovered the Ursa Major and when?
You don't "discover" a constellation, for the same reason that you don't discover the Sun or the Moon. The stars that make up the constellation are there to see; at some moment, somebody - the ancient Greeks in the case of the "classical" constellations, including Ursa Major - somebody, then, decided that a certain group of stars look this this or that, and gave it a name.
