Which stars do you see all year?

You see stars all year which (at your latitude) are circumpolar stars.

Your latitude must be where it gets dark enough, so sunlight doesn't interfere too much.

That means latitudes below about 60 degrees where "civil twilight" ends (i.e the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon) even at the summer solstice.

To see the faintest "naked eye" circumpolar stars all year you would need to be below about latitude 48 degrees.

Unfortunately, the lower your latitude the less stars are actually circumpolar.

At the equator no stars are circumpolar.

Circumpolar stars are stars that never set at your particular latitude, which means their declination is more than 90 minus your latitude (in the Northern Hemisphere).

At 51.5 degrees north (London) you can see stars north of a declination of 38.5 degrees north all year round. That includes constellations like Ursa Major and Cassiopeia, and stars like Deneb and Capella.

Is it true onle at the equator are all the stars visible over the course of the year?

If you're willing to depart now and then from a routine schedule of sleep and stargazing, you can probably see all of the constellations and visible stars in the sky within a period of a few months, from an observing location on the equator.


How did people use the stars as a calendar?

You can tell the time of year by looking at the stars in the sky. The ones you see tonight are the same ones you will see in any year on this date. You will see the same ones tomorrow night, but if you go out at the exact same time to look as you did tonight, you would see they were in slightly different positions. As the year continues you will notice that the stars you see are moving and you will start to see different ones. In 6 months from now, most of the stars you will see will be different than what you can see tonight, except for some that are right overhead. So if you can learn what stars are seen at what time of year, you can know what time of year it is and even work out what time it is. That is what people did long, long ago.
