Answer 2

If you don't mind interrupting your sleep and going out to look for it at odd hours

of the night, Orion is visible somewhere in the sky at some time of night during

the whole year, except for roughly the month of June.

Answer 3

Orion is one of the few constellations that can be seen from anywhere on Earth, but it's not visible in at certain times of year.

It's visible in the northern hemisphere in winter.

In the Southern Hemisphere it can be seen for most of the year in many places.

(I presume the questioner meant "from where on Earth......".)

Answer 4

When it is above the horizon, it is always visible with the naked eye. The Orion constellation has some fairly bright stars.

You can see the Orion constellation during most of the year; sometimes in the evening, sometimes in the morning.

Answer 5

It exist now, in our minds. The constellations never existed anywhere else, except in the minds of people who "see" those shapes in the stars.

Orion is especially easy to see now, in January and February each year. Look high in the east after sunset.

Answer 6

When the weather is clear. You can see stars any time of night, as long as you can see the sky.

There is one astronomical phenomenon which is best observed at a particular part of the night. Meteors are more often observed in the hours between midnight and dawn. This is because of the way the Earth moves and spins; the line of the dawn is the "leading edge" of the Earth in its path around the Sun. So in the pre-dawn darkness, we're seeing meteors hitting us "head on", while in the evening we are seeing only meteors that manage to catch up with the Earth as it moves.

Answer 7

On any clear night there is a possibility of seeing a meteor which is what a shooting star is. At various stages of the year there are well known meteor showers, when much more of them are seen. It is during these that you have the best chance of seeing meteors. Some of the best ones are the Quadrantids in January, the Perseids in July/August, the Orionids in October and the Leonids in November. Do an online search for "Meteor Showers" and you will find more details.

Answer 8

The main rectangle of Orion's body occupies a span of Right Ascension from about 5H 15M at Rigel

to 5H 55M at Betelgeuse, with the middle star in the belt (Alnilam) almost exactly centered in this

range, at RA 5H 36M .

Answer 9

There are several times each year when the Earth passes through the orbit of an old comet; we call these "meteor showers" because the Earth is repeatedly and rapidly struck by thousands of tiny space rocks and grains of sand. Last night and tonight, for example, (May 6 and 7 each year) is the eta Aquarid meteor shower, caused by remnants of Halley's Comet.

However, you can see meteors ANY night. You are far more likely to see meteors in the pre-dawn hours of about 2 AM to dawn, but you can see a few meteors at any time of night.

Answer 10

Orion is visible at SOME time during every clear night from mid-August until late-April.

In mid-August, Orion is fully risen in the East by sunrise.
As time goes on, it gains about 4 minutes each night ... about 2 hours a month.
It's in the best position for after-dinner/before-bed viewing in mid-Winter.
It continues gaining an hour every 2 weeks, until late-April, when it's setting in the West
by the time the sky is fully dark in the evening.
