How many constellations in the Earth?
There are no constellations in the Earth. They are in space. There are 88 official constellations.
Where does the earth have to be in order to see constellations?
The earth's position has no affect on constellations' visibility. The position of the viewer on the surface of the earth will affect what constellations are visible.
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.
What constellations are visible from Earth?
All of them are. The constellations were all invented by human beings, on Earth. None were invented that can't be seen from Earth.
Why do the planets appear to move through the constellations instead of with the constellations as Earth rotates?
Because the planets are closer to the earth than the star that make the constellations are. They are also orbiting the sun along with the earth.

How many constellations have been identified as of today?
There seems to be some kind of misapprehension here. Constellations are not "out there waiting to be discovered". Somebody saw a pattern of stars that vaguely suggested something to them, and bingo, constellation (well, technically, asterism, which is not quite the same thing). There are 88 officially recognized constellations. They cover the entire sky, so there's no possibility of any additional ones being "discovered." There have been hundreds if not thousands of asterisms discovered/named by various individuals and cultures. But there are only 88 recognized by the International Astronomical Union, and unless they decide to break an existing one into two or more pieces, there will never be any more than that. It's technically possible that if people settled on a planet around some other star that they might decide to redo the constellations, but from Earth, 88 is it.
The constellations you see from earth appear to change as the?

Because the planets are closer to the earth than the star that make the constellations are. They are also orbiting the sun along with the earth.
When was the first constellation found?
As long as people have been on Earth, looking up at the night sky, constellations have been there. Ancient people began to see patterns of stars in the sky and gave them names and these have become the constellations.
How does the earth's axis affect the constellations and the stars?
Earth's axis has zero effect on the stars and constellations. They aren't related in any way.
A group of stars lined up in a recognizeable pattern?
Group of stars forming patterns in the sky is called constellation. However, not every group of stars is a constellation. The constellations standardized and given names long ago. The grouping is based entirely on the apparent arrangement of the stars from earth.
Are constellations stars falling towards earth?
No. Constellations are arrangements of stars that appear to form pictures.
What are 5 star constellations seen from Earth?
2 constellations with 5 stars are Cassiopeia & Cepheus.
