What causes constellations to appear and then disappear?
Constellations doesn't take the same shape forever, as over time, the stars that make up the shape start to move away from each other.
Why does the constellation change possition in the night sky?
The constellations change position because of the same reason the days range in length from summer to winter. The Earth's tilt and wobble. The constellations stay in the same place in the sky, but every day the Earth moves while the tilt stays the same, leaving it to appear that the constellations have moved. (It's better to understand with a picture..)
What is 'constellations' when translated from English to French?
The same spelling '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.
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.
Would constellations appear different if you traveled to the nearest star?
yes constellations are relative in comparison with where you are located in the universe. depending on where you travel some constellations may stay the same while other will drastically look different.

Do stars and constellations appear in the same place every night?
No. Since the earth is constantly spinning, while at the same time, constantly orbiting the Sun, the side of the Earth facing away from the Sun, i.e. the night side, is constantly changing. As a result, stars and constellation do not appear in the same place every night.

Can you see the same constellations from another planet?
From all the planets in the solar system one can see the same constellations, because the distances to the stars are so great.
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.
