No, not always. As we are rotating and also orbit the Sun, and as Jupiter is orbiting the Sun too, when we can see it does change. So just like you don't see the Moon or the Sun or the stars all the time, you also don't see Jupiter or the other planets all the time. When it is visible, it will be in the night sky for months. If you watch carefully over that period of time, you will notice that its position is changing. All the planets, along with the Sun and the Moon, appear to move through the 12 constellations that we associate with Astrology, the so-called signs of the zodiac. The zodiac is an imaginary line which passes through those 12 constellations, and all the planets and the Moon and the Sun are always near it. As Jupiter takes just under 12 years to orbit the Sun, each year it appears to be in a different constellation, so if you know where these constellations can be seen and know which one it is in, that is a handy way of tracking it from year to year.

Where in the sky can Jupiter be found?
It is constantly moving so you can't see it every night of the year, but you can see it for much of the year. As it moves through our night sky, like the other planets and the Sun and Moon, it is always near one of the constellations that are used as signs of the zodiac in Astrology. So if you know where they are, you may see Jupiter or one of the other planets or the Moon. The Sun makes it too bright to be able to see that it is also around one of the constellations. There are good websites, like Heavens-Above, which will tell you when and where to see Jupiter. When it is visible it is much brighter than any star in the night sky, making it easy to identify when you know where to look.
