The stars and planets are observed from the earth, and because the earth is rotating and tilting on its axis, and is also orbiting the sun, the stars and planets appear to be moving in relation to the observers view.

What season are the constellations can be seen?

Every season - we see the constellations throughout the year, every night, every week, every month.


What season will not allow you to see the winter seasonal constellations at all?

every season but winter


Do you have see the same stars and constellations at different times of the year?

Yes we do, we all see the same star every night. But if you are in a certain spot you can see the constellations. Not all can see the constellations. If you can you are very lucky.


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 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.

Why are some constellations only visible in the winter?

As Earth orbits the sun - it takes one year to get around it - we see different parts of space and different patterns of stars, as Earth turns away from the sun every night. The constellations we see on a night in summer, are behind the Sun during the winter.

The Earth moves on it axis, West to East. As the Earth moves, you see different parts of space so therefor see different constellations. Hope it answered your question!!
