Most constellations are visible about 300 days per year. Only when the Sun is very close to that constellation is it entirely hidden. But since few of us get up before dawn to study the sky, we typically see only "evening" stars.

Some constellations, such as Cassiopeia and Ursa Major are "circumpolar"; they are close enough to the celestial pole that they are, depending on your latitude, always visible.

In order to provide a better answer, I would need to know your latitude.

47 degrees latitude

It depends entirely on what latitude you are observing from. Some stars and constellations are always visible, some are never visible and some for only part of the year

Ursa Minor is another name for the Little Bear, which is also known as the Little Dipper. This constellation is clearly visible with the human eye in the Northern Hemisphere.
