It is only partly true. Stars have latitude and longitude just as we do on Earth, but they are called Declination and Right Ascension. A star that has a declination greater than 90 minus your latitude will never set. Such stars are called circumpolar stars. I live at 35° south so stars with declination 90-35=55° will never set. For example I can always see the Southern Cross.

Why can't people in the north hemisphere see all constellations throughout the year?

It is because of the rotation and revolution of the Earth's axis.The Earth goes to one side of its orbit this causes the other constellations to be blocked by the sun. The change in location makes other constellations out of sight. The Earth goes away from these constellations that's why we can't see them.


How do i Find my star constellation?

To find your star constellation, start by identifying your location and the time of year, as different constellations are visible in different seasons. Use a star map or a mobile app that shows constellations based on your geographical coordinates. Go outside on a clear night away from city lights, and look up at the sky to locate the prominent stars that form the constellation's shape. Familiarize yourself with a few key constellations, and soon you'll be able to recognize them more easily.


What is the most seen constellation?

Any of the circumpolar constellations. Most common: The Big Dipper (Ursa Major), Cassiopea, Cepheus, the Little Dipper (Ursa Minor). This is because these constllations can be seen year-round, and others only appear in certain seasons. (i.e. Orion constellation can only be seen in the night sky during winter.)


What causes the change in the display of constellation in the sky in one year?

The change in the display of constellations in the sky throughout the year is primarily due to Earth's orbit around the Sun. As Earth orbits, different constellations come into view at different times. This is why we see different constellations in the night sky during different seasons.


Why can you only see certain constellations during certain seasons?

the earth rotates and spins making u c diffrent one that r on the other side of the sun or the earth

Why do you see different constellations in different areas of the sky during different seasons?

You see different constellation because the constellations stay in place, but Earth moves so every season you are able to see different constellations.


Why do some constellations apper only during certain seasons?

how far away is the Sun from Earth


Why did they make constellation?

Ancient people imagined that they saw figures in the shapes formed by stars. This made it easier to map the night skies and these maps were useful navigational aids. Also, whether or not certain constellations were visible, or when they rose or set, were indicators of seasons.

If a student can nly see certain constellations in the spring what is earth's movement associated with this occurrence called?

It is called revolution because spring is part of the whole year, & it takes a whole year for the Earth to go around the sun. The sun can change seasons depending on where the sunlight hits on Earth. So, it is revolution.

Why are most constellations seasonal?

Most constellations are seasonal because of Earth's orbit around the Sun. As the Earth moves along its orbit, different constellations come into view at different times of the year due to the changing position of stars relative to our planet. This causes certain constellations to be visible only during specific seasons.


Do constellation predict the coming season?

Constellations are patterns of stars in the sky, and they do not predict upcoming seasons. The change in seasons is primarily influenced by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun, leading to variations in sunlight and temperature throughout the year. Astronomy relates to the study of celestial objects and phenomena in the universe, while the study of the changing seasons falls more under the field of meteorology.


Are constellations only visible in certain seasons due to the revolution of earth toward the constellation?
