Do constellations change over time?

Yes, constellations appear to change positions in the sky over time due to the phenomenon known as precession. This is caused by the slow wobbling of the Earth's axis, altering our perspective of the stars' positions in the sky over thousands of years. So while the constellations themselves are fixed patterns of stars, their apparent positions from Earth do change over long periods.


What causes the position of a constellation to appear to change over a period of several hours?

On a daily basis, the rotation of the Earth. On a seasonal basis, the motion of the Earth around the sun. Over the long term ... they're all independently moving around the center of the galaxy.


Why does the moon change position in the sky and even appears during the day at times?

The moon orbits the Earth at the same time the Earth is rotating, this means that the moon's daily rise and set times change constantly over a 29 day period.


How often do the locations of the constellations in the night sy change there location?

The locations of constellations in the night sky change gradually over the course of a night due to Earth's rotation, but their positions relative to each other remain consistent over longer periods of time. However, because of the Earth's precession, the positions of constellations do shift slightly over longer timescales, about 1 degree every 72 years.

Why are the ideas that earth undergoes change and is billions of year old important for evolutionary theory?

Evolution means change over a period of time. The fact that Earth is roughly 4.5 billion years old has shown us those changes in fossil records, geography, human evolution and carbon dating. So we see Evolution happening over that time and that's what makes it not a theory but fact.
