Why do the planets appear to move through the constellations instead of with the constellations as Earth rotates?
Because the planets are closer to the earth than the star that make the constellations are. They are also orbiting the sun along with the earth.
What planets can be seen in certain constellations?
The constellations of the zodiac fall on the plane of the ecliptic (the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun) and all the Sun's planets orbit also in the plane of the ecliptic. This means that ALL the planets eventually move through ALL the zodiacal constellations (as seen from Earth). It also therefore follows that the planets are never seen in the non zodiacal constellations.
Do planets wander in and out of constellations?
yes, they do. The planets wander through the constellations of the zodiac, as do the moon and sun. They all travel on a very narrow path of sky called the Ecliptic - and the constellations along the ecliptic are the constellations of the zodiac. Zodiac is a Greek word that means "ring of animals".
What is the difference between the zodiac constellations and other constellations?
There is an imaginary band in the sky called the Plane of the Ecliptic. The planets we can see from earth, never wander above or below that band of sky - so the planets are always in one of the other of the constellations that lie in that band. We call those particular 12 (or 13) constellations the "constellations of the Zodiac".
The belt of constellations through which all the planets move is called the?
The belt of constellations through which all the planets move is called zodiac. The true shape of the planetary orbits was discovered by Kepler.
Do constellations orbit planets and if they do what ones?
Constellations are groups of stars. A planet orbits a single star. No, constellations do not orbit planets.
Is Gemini used to point to other constellations or planets?
Planets
What are the planets in the constellation Canis Major?

Is astonomy just about stars?
No. Astronomy has to do with stars, planets, comets, and everything else that has to do with space. The orbits of planets, constellations, and history of space exploration is also a part of astronomy.

How is galaxies and constellations not alike?
one thing galaxy's have planets but not constellations another... constellations look like that the stars are close but the aren't
Compared to the background of constellations planets?
Compared to the background of constellations, planets mostly move eastward. Retrograde motion refers to the brief periods of westward movement.

Are there ant planets orbiting gemni?
There may be planets orbiting stars in the constellation Gemini, but planets do not orbit whole constellations.

The belt of constellations through which all the planets move is called zodiac. The true shape of the planetary orbits was discovered by Kepler.
