What else can I help you with?
Do all constellations rise and set?
Yes - EVERYTHING in the sky rises and sets, because Earth rotates on it's axis.
What constellations are visible from Earth?
There are 88 recognized constellations visible from Earth. Some of the most famous ones include Orion, Ursa Major, Scorpius, and Cassiopeia. The visibility of constellations varies depending on the time of year and your location on Earth.
Is there a place on earth where no constellations are circumpolar?
No, all locations on Earth have constellations that are circumpolar, meaning they never dip below the horizon. The specific constellations will vary depending on the observer's latitude.
What constellation rises in the east and sets in the west?
All of them. Well, that's not entirely accurate. At the Equator, EVERY constellation seems to rise in the East and set in the west. At the mid-latitudes, there are some constellations that are "circum-polar"; they never actually rise, and never actually set. In most of the United States, for example, the constellations of Ursa Major and Cassiopeia never rise; they become visible in the sky when the Sun sets, and they disappear into the lightening sky when the Sun rises. In the Arctic or Antarctic regions, MOST stars and constellations are circum-polar. But all the constellations that rise, rise in the East. And if they set at all, they set in the west. And I need ANOTHER correction - because none of the stars move enough in a lifetime for them to change their positions in the sky. It's the Earth itself that does the spinning, and the rising and setting that we THINK we see is an effect of us living on a globe that's spinning like a carousel.
What constellations are between Earth and Jupiter?
Constellations are made of stars, and there are no stars in between Earth and Jupiter. There is only one star in our solar system, and that is the Sun. All others are very, very, very, very far away.

Who discovered that the constellations rotate?
constellation does not rotate at all, but the Earth does
How does earth revolution affect the viewing of constellation?
As earth orbits the sun, different constellations come into view while others disappear. Circumpolar constellations are visible all year long, other constellations are not.

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.
Why does the number of circumpolar constellations depend on the latitude of the observer?
As an observer moves away from the equator, towards the north or south pole, there are more constellations that the rotation of the earth does not ever block from his or her view throughout one full rotation.
All of the constellations appear to be moving because what is moving?
Because of Earth's rotation.
Why can't you see all the constellations at once?
The Earth is a sphere. An observer looking up can only see the stars on their side of the planet. As the Earth rotates, it exposes the observer to the other stars visible to their hemisphere. Simply put, the earth gets in the way. If the earth were to disappear and you were floating in space, you could freely look around at the celestial sphere and observe the constellations. The number of constellations visible would be limited only by the range of your vision, which still would be insufficient to see in every direction simultaneously.
What constellations are close to the constellation Pisces?
There is no distance from earth, as all the stars are at different distances!:))
