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.
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.
Why do you see different constellations at different points of the year?
The sun is always in different places at different times.
What constellations are visible all year long?
Depends where you live....
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.
What Constellations are visible all year?
The constellations near the plane of the ecliptic (the zodiacal constellations) are only visible at certain times of the year. The constellations towards the poles (N and S) are visible at all times of the year from their respective hemispheres. In the South, the Southern Cross would be one example and in the North the Great Bear (or plough) would be another.

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.
Constellations that circle polaris and are visible year around are called?
These are called circumpolar constellations.
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.
Why do you see different constellations at different points of the year?
The sun is always in different places at different times.
Why you see different constellations at different times in the year?
because the world is in different places around the sun at different times of the year therefore you would see different constalations

How many constellations can you find in the night star?
At different times of night and in different seasons of the year, I can find about 30 of them.
Why aren't all constellations visible all year?
Circumpolar constellations are visible all year long, depending on where you are viewing them from. At the north pole, or the south pole, some constellations are visible year-round, these are the circumpolar constellations. On the equator, there are no circumpolar constellations because of the earths rotation, that is why circumpolar constellations are at the "poles". Some of the circumpolar constellations can also be viewed from other parts of the same hemisphere, such as the big dipper and the little dipper, although they are circumpolar, they are also seen in other parts of the northern hemisphere. Circumpolar constellations in the northern hemisphere, will never be seen at the south pole, and vice versa. I hope this helped.
