There are two things that cause the constellations to appear to move.
The earth does not rotate once a year round the sun, its called orbiting, rotate is spinning and orbit is moving around an object. Earth is a satellite of the sun.

∙ 16y agoBoth. They just move almost imperceptably due to their distance from the earth. We notice their movement across the sky due to the rotation or the earth. The movement you see of the stars is from the Earth's rotation, same thing that moves the sun and moon.

∙ 10y agoYes, stars move. Nearby stars typically move at a speed of several kilometers per second, relative to us. It is a bit hard to detect this movement, because they are so far away that even after several years, you won't notice a change in position.

∙ 14y agoStars near the celestial pole appear to move in circles around the Pole Star, which is Polaris. Polaris appears to be DIRECLY ABOVE the north pole, but it is actually about 3/4ths of a degree off.
If you aim a camera at Polaris and make a long time exposure, you'll see that Polaris makes a tiny little circle, with other stars making bigger circles around it.

∙ 13y agoThe sky appears to move from east to west, so facing south the sky will appear to be moving from left to right.
i believe the answer is that the sky doesnt move............it goes with the direction the earth spins.

∙ 13y agoThe Earth rotates on it's axis showing us a different view of the night sky
The constellations apparently move because the earth moves. It not only rotates, giving the impression that the constellations rise and set, but it also moves in its orbit around the sun, thereby giving us different views at different times of year.

∙ 14y agoThe sun and the stars NEVER MOVE it is the earth which is moving. As the earth orbits the sun, one side is ALWAYS facing the sun this is day time, the other side is facing away from the sun which causes night time. The stars only appear at night.

∙ 14y agoMany things. The movement or rotation of the Earth on it's axis, the revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the revolution of our Solar System around the central core of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Also, the stars may well be part of their own galaxy, so they will also revolve around their centre.

∙ 13y agoYou can't see stars when the sun is up. In order to see stars, you always look away from the sun.
Six months from now, we will be halfway through our annual orbit around the sun.
The direction you face to see the sun today will be the direction you face to see the night-time
stars in six months from now.
The direction you face to see the stars tonight will be the direction you face to see the sun
in six months from now.
The stars you see over your house at 10:00 PM tonight are in exactly the opposite direction
from the stars you'll see over your house six months from now at 10:00 PM.
They're different stars, in different random patterns.
The Orion telescopes are named after the constellation with the same name, the Orion constellation. The Orion constellation is named after the hunter in Greek mythology also with the same name, Orion.
No. Ursa Minor is the constellation that includes Polaris, while Orion is more equatorial.
Betelgeuse is the red supergiant star at Orion's right shoulder, with Bellatrix - a blue giant - as the left shoulder. If would seem logical that Orion is depicted as facing us.
Because it looks like the belt of the hunter Orion, as depicted in the stars of the constellation Orion.
The Japanese version of ORION is the drum.

One.Orion doesn't "have constellations". Orion is a constellation.

A constellation
The constellation Orion.
Orion is also known as "The Hunter"Another name for the constellation Orion is Hayk. This constellation can be found at night when the stars are out. For better chances of spotting this constellation it is recommended to invest in a telescope.
Orion's Belt
Lepus is a below the constellation of Orion. Orion is a very prominent constellation through the winter months.
You mean 'Orion's Belt' - this is a group of stars, not a full constellation, and it got its name because it is part of the constellation called 'Orion', with Orion being a hunter.
The constellation is Orion
It is part of the Orion constellation.
