How many constellations are circumpolar?
There's no answer to this question, because the definition of circumpolar depends on where you are. If you're at the pole, all the constellations you can see are circumpolar. If you're on the equator, there are no circumpolar constellations.
Where on Earth could you see all the constellations rise and set?
You can see all the constellations rise and set from the equator. This is because the Earth's rotation axis is perpendicular to the line connecting the Earth to the Sun at the equator, allowing for a full view of the celestial sphere over the course of a year.
What constellations would you see in the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, you would be able to see constellations such as Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, Draco, and Orion. These constellations are visible at different times of the year and are easily recognizable in the northern sky.
Why does the number of circumpolar constellations depend on latitude?
Circumpolar Constellations are those that appear to circle the North Star, Polaris. Polaris' place in the sky changes based on the viewers latitude. The closer you get to the North Pole, the higher in the sky Polaris appears, and therefore the more constellations appear to spin around Polaris.
What would happen if you traveled to the equator of the Earth to view constellations?
The constellations would be the same, but The temperature would be very hot because the closer you get to the equator, the hotter the climate gets.
Do countries on the equator see all the constellations?
No, but the people who live in them can, if they want to.

Are there circumpolar constellations on the equator?
No, circumpolar constellations are those that never set below the horizon as viewed from a certain latitude. On the equator, all constellations are visible at some point during the year but none are permanently circumpolar.
Why cannot see all constellations?
If you were on the Equator you would see all of them. Otherwise it depends where you live. I live in New Zealand at latitude 35° S. So I can't see any northern stars closer than 35° to the North Celestial Pole. If you live in the north at say 35°N, then you wouldn't see those stars which are closer than 35° to the South Celestial Pole.
What constellations would you see in the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, you would be able to see constellations such as Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, Draco, and Orion. These constellations are visible at different times of the year and are easily recognizable in the northern sky.
Why is the majority of the constellations are close to the celestial equator?
They are not. There are constellations in every direction.
What constellations aren't in our galaxy?
All the constellations that we see, and there are 88 of them, are all in our galaxy, the Milky Way.

What are a few facts about constellations?
there are 88 constellations. you can see them all in a year on the equator. most of them are from Greek mythology. Whenever a new star is discovered, it is added to the constellation it is nearest to.
Which constellations can you see from New Zealand?
Almost all of them.
What would happen if you traveled to the equator of the Earth to view constellations?
The constellations would be the same, but The temperature would be very hot because the closer you get to the equator, the hotter the climate gets.
