What are the dates in which the constellation can be seen?
Constellations can be seen EVERY night, ALL the time.
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.
What two things determine where the constellations are seen in the sky?
The observer's location and the time of the year :)
Why are constellations seen at different times of the year?
cause the earth is tilted and it rotates. it also goes around the sun. so it is never in the same spot for a very long time.
Are all constellations visible all the time?
No. As we orbit the Sun different constellations become visible, but we can only see them when it is dark. Constellations are in the sky during daylight, but the Sun is so bright, we cannot see them. A few months after that, they start to be visible in the evenings and soon at night, by which time other constellations are in daylight and cannot be seen. You will see any constellation at the same time of year, every year. So the constellations you see in the night sky tonight are the same as the ones you will see on this date in any other year. The only thing that will differ is where the Moon and planets are.
Why are constellations seen in different places at different times?
There are two reasons. First, the Earth is rotating, so over the course of a night they seem to move across the sky. Second, the Earth is orbiting the sun, so we are looking at different parts of the sky throughout the year. However, at the same time on the same date of the year, you will see the constellations in the same places. So you can tell the time of year and even the time of night by looking at them.

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.
In what season can the omega constellation be seen in North America?
The best time to view the Omega constellation in North America is in the summer, specifically August. Other constellations that can be seen during this time are the Lagoon and the Trifid.
Why do we see different constellations in the sky different times of the year?
Because we tend to do our stargazing at roughly the same time of night whenever we go out, but the constellations move through our clock.-- Constellations within (your latitude) of the celestial pole are visible at any time on any clear night, all year around.-- And constellations farther from the pole of the sky are visible at some time of every clear night, for 9 or 10 months of the year.That is related to Earth's movement around the Sun.
Why are constellations seen all year?
Because we are in the Milky Way galaxy, where there are huge numbers of stars in every direction from us that can be seen any time the sun isn't up in the sky.
What month is the month to see Canis Major?
Like all constellations, they can be seen quite well over several months, just at different stages of the night. Canis Major is good for seeing in the months from November through to February in particular. By February it is seen much earlier in the evening, but for less time.
