The position of Orion seems to change through the sky because stars moved just like planets. But, if you sand there and just stare at it all night you cannot sense its motion. You could probably see it over a few days. The movement of stars is so hard to detect from earthi because they are so far away from us
Constellation change position during the night due to the earth's multiple motions, such as the wobble and rotations around the sun.
The shapes do change, but only a little bit over thousands of years.
This is a result of the earth's orbiting the sun. We are looking at the constellation from a different angle as the weeks progress.
On a daily basis, the rotation of the Earth. On a seasonal basis, the motion of the Earth around the sun. Over the long term ... they're all independently moving around the center of the galaxy.
As the Earth goes around the sun, it changes its position relative to the stars in those constellations. At times, some stars won't be visible as they will be behind the sun. This change in perspective isn't enough to make it appear as if they stars have taken a radically new position. They still seem to be just where they always have been. That's why the stars of each constellation stay in the shape of the constellation and instead it seems as though the whole constellation moves. Really, it's just us that are moving.

The same thing that makes the sun appear to move through the daytime sky. The Earth rotates on its' axis.

It is evidence that the earth orbits around the sun.
Only if you look at it at the same time every night. If you look at it 4 minutes earlier each night, then it doesn't change position at all.
Hercules is a constellation of the Northern sky, the constellation does not change position and so will never come to the Southern hemisphere. To see everything astronomers need to visit countries in both the northern and southern hemisphere.
Yes, the constellation Eridanus appears to move across the night sky due to Earth's rotation. It generally moves from east to west as the night progresses. This motion can vary slightly depending on the time of year and your location on Earth.
it has to do with the sun and the position of the moon , sun and earth
A constellation is a group of stars that appear to be together in a group, but are not actually close to each other. They appear to be together because they are along the same general line from Earth to those stars. Also the constellations can change over time due to the position of the Earth. One star can have a surface temperature, but a group of stars does not have a common surface, or even an average temperature for the group.
