Which constellations can be seen all year?
The circumpolar constellations
Why aren't circumpolar constellations visible all year long?
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.
Why dont constellations appear in the same spot at the same time all year long?
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.
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.
What constellations are visible all year long?
Some of the constellations visible all year long from the northern hemisphere include Ursa Major (containing the Big Dipper), Ursa Minor (containing the Little Dipper with Polaris, the North Star), and Cassiopeia. In the southern hemisphere, constellations like Centaurus and Crux (Southern Cross) remain visible throughout the year.

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.

When you look up to the constellations of the night sky think about all the people all around the world who like you are gazing upward You are not all seeing the same thing how to Respond to this?
One way to respond to the fact that people around the world are not all seeing the same constellations would be to say that we are all gazing out into the universe, into the largely-unknown. Also, people around the world view all of the same constellations, just not at the same time of the year.
Why can't we see every constellation all year long?
You cannot see the same constellations or various constellations due to the rotation of the Earth and your position on it. So, someone in China won't be seeing the same stars you will tonight, but you won't be seeing the stars you looked at tonight a week from now.
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.
Can you see all the northern hemisphere constellations all year long and why?
No I can't, because I live on Earth and there's no place on Earth where that's possible.
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.
