Do you see the same constellations every day?
No - as Earth goes around the sun, we see different parts of space and different patterns of stars as they come into view. Different constellations are visible during different times of the year.
Why you see different constellations of stars during a year?
the earth's rotation
Which constellations can be seen all year?
The circumpolar constellations
What are some seasonal constellations?
Most constellations are seasonal, meaning they appear in the sky during reasonable evening hours only at certain times of the year. For example, Orion is a popular winter constellation. Only circumpolar constellations are not seasonal.
What is the uses of constlation?
Constellations are used for navigating. Since different constellations appear in different parts of the world at different times of the year, if you know the approximate time of the year you can figure out where you are by the constellations.
Placements of constellations during seasons?
The different seasons correspond to different constellations. As Earth orbits the sun during the year, we look out at different parts of space and see different patterns of stars as they come into view.
Why are some constellations visible during winter months and not during the summer?
Because the constellations that are visible during winter are on the other side of the sun during the summer. During the year the earth spins around the sun like a big satellite. So while the earth is constantly moving, the distance that the stars are away from us cause them to look stationary from our point of view some constellations can only be seen a few months out of the year.

How does the earth's affect our view of the constellations in the night?
The Earth's rotation causes the constellations in the night sky to appear to move across the horizon. This rotation causes the constellations to rise and set at different times throughout the year, leading to different constellations being visible during different seasons. Additionally, the Earth's atmosphere can cause the stars to twinkle and appear less bright or crisp, depending on factors such as air pollution or atmospheric conditions.
How does earth revolution affect the viewing of constellation?
As earth orbits the sun, different constellations come into view while others disappear. Circumpolar constellations are visible all year long, other constellations are not.
How can you tell the time of year without looking at a calendar or clock (by looking at the sky)?
During the year, due to the earth's orbit, different constellations appear during different seasons. You can use the constellations to determine the time of year.

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.
Can the moon rise in opposite directions during the year?
no
Why are the constellations of the zodiac so well-known?
Because they're the ones that the sun's path passes through during the course of a year. If you could see the stars around the sun during the day, the sun is always in one of the constellations of the zodiac.
