Why do constellations appear to be in different places at different times of the year?

This is due to the rotation of the Earth and moon. Sometimes, you may have been able to see constellations, but the moon blocked them. Other times, the spinning of the Earth may let you see a constellation at one moment, then not the next. (This is not true. I meant to say that you can see it one day, but not the next day.) For example, a constellation could be seen for a week straight, then suddenly not be seen the next day.


What is the distance between the constellation Draco and the Earth?

All constellations are imaginary diagrams formed by patterns of many stars - each one it's own unique distance from Earth. So a constellation isn't a particular distance from Earth - as the stars only look like they're next to each other from our perspective here on Earth.


How does the constellation stay the same?

They actually don't stay the same - they change over time. It's just that what we consider a long period of time is a mere "eyeblink" in cosmic time. In the next thousand years, the constellations will actually change their shape, slowly but surely. If you could go forward in time 50, 000 years, you would not be able to recognize a lot of the sky.


How long does it take for earth to transition between the zodiac constellations?
