During the day, the light of the Sun is so intense and so scattered by the atmosphere that the light of the stars is unnoticeable.

Why cant you see all constellations throughout the year?
As we orbit the sun certain constellations are actually in the sky during the day. It is then too bright to see them. If you put a lamp in the middle of a room and stared at it, it would be difficult to see what is behind it, but if you turn around the things that are behind you are easy to see. If you then go to the other side of the lamp, now the things that were easy to see are hard to see because the lamp is in front of them and the things that you couldn't see originally you can see very easily. That is how it is with different constellations as we go around the sun. At different times of year you can see different constellations. Whatever time of year it is, at that time every year, the same constellations are visible.
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.
Why do they launch rockets during the day?

Why are the constellations of the zodiac so well-known?
Because they're the ones that the sun's path passes through during the course of a year. If you could see the stars around the sun during the day, the sun is always in one of the constellations of the zodiac.
Why do you see different constellations in different areas of the sky during different seasons?
You see different constellation because the constellations stay in place, but Earth moves so every season you are able to see different constellations.
Why you see different constellations of stars during a year?

If you could see stars in the daytime what constellation would you see at noon on a winter day?
Great question - you would see the same constellations in the sky on a Winter day that you would see in the sky on a Summer night. And there are too many to mention here - almost 40+ constellations.
Why are some constellations visible only in summer and others only in winter?
First of all - constellations are simply patterns of stars. As Earth travels around the sun once every year (it's orbit), we see all the different stars, in all the different directions in space, as we turn away from the sun every night. So - the constellations we see at NIGHT in the SUMMER are the same ones that are in the DAYTIME sky during the WINTER - we just can't see them because our atmosphere scatters the sun's light during the day.
Placements of constellations during seasons?
The different seasons correspond to different constellations. As Earth orbits the sun during the year, we look out at different parts of space and see different patterns of stars as they come into view.
Why can't you see a constellation in August?
You can see lots of constellations in August. You can see constellations in every month of the year.
