Everything in the sky appears to be moving because Earth is rotating. BUT - also, Earth is orbiting the Sun, and the Sun and all the planets are rotating in an arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is also moving through the Universe....
Because of Earth's rotation.
the constellations aren't moving, we are. the earth is constantly rotating giving us day and night
The actual boundaries of the constellations do not change, but because all stars are moving, the shapes appear to change. e.g. Ursa Major (the Big Dipper) will be a different shape in 100,000 years as the stars that comprise it are all moving relative to each other.

Stars and constellations appear to move in the night sky due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As Earth spins, different stars and constellations become visible while others disappear below the horizon. This motion gives the illusion of stars and constellations moving across the sky.
Constellations appear to move across the sky each night due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. This rotation causes the stars to appear as though they are moving, when in fact it is the Earth that is moving. This phenomenon is known as the diurnal motion of the stars.
Stars in constellations appear to move across the sky because of the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different stars come into view while others disappear over the horizon. This creates the illusion of movement within constellations.
Earth revolves around the sun. That is why the constellations we see from Earth appear to change.
They are called constellations.
No. Constellations are arrangements of stars that appear to form pictures.
Constellations appear to shift positions in the night sky due to Earth's orbit around the Sun. As the Earth moves along its orbit, the projection of the stars against the background of space changes, causing constellations to appear in different positions at different times of the year. This phenomenon is known as stellar parallax.
They're generally named for the constellation they appear to originate from. For example, the Leonids appear to radiate from a location in the constellation Leo, and the Perseids from a location in the constellation Perseus.
