What motion of earth makes it seem as if the stars and constellations are in different positions at different times of the year?

Earth orbiting the sun


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.


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.

Why do we see different constellations at different times of the year?

Earth revolves,so we can see different parts of the night Sky as it orbits the sun


Why do constellations appear to be in different places at different times of the year?

This is due to the rotation of the Earth and moon. Sometimes, you may have been able to see constellations, but the moon blocked them. Other times, the spinning of the Earth may let you see a constellation at one moment, then not the next. (This is not true. I meant to say that you can see it one day, but not the next day.) For example, a constellation could be seen for a week straight, then suddenly not be seen the next day.
