Circumpolar constellations orbit what?
Beautiful question !! Circumpolar stars and constellations are stars and constellations the "go around the pole" = Circum (circle) polar (the pole) The North Star is called "Polaris" because it's directly above Earth's North Pole - in other words, if you went to the North Pole, "polaris" would be directly over your head. Because of this, all of the stars appear to pivot around Polaris as Earth rotates. Now I don't know where you live, but if you live in the United States, Polaris would NOT be overhead - it would be lower in the sky but still in the North. The lower on the globe you live, the lower Polaris appears in the sky. So, the stars and constellations that spin around Polaris but DON'T SET, are called circumpolar stars and constellations.

Is A constellation a group of stars that separates the sky into definite sections and has been given a name?
Almost. A constellation is a group of stars that visually relate to one another, and have hence been given a name, based on their apparent pictorial appearance. I don't think you can include "separates the sky into definite sections", as several constellations overlap (Pegasus and Andromeda, for example) and some constellations take up a tiny part of the sky, some a huge chunk of it - which would be a rather awkward way of dividing up into "definite sections".
If you could see stars in the daytime what constellation would you see at noon on a winter day?
Great question - you would see the same constellations in the sky on a Winter day that you would see in the sky on a Summer night. And there are too many to mention here - almost 40+ constellations.
