This is caused by the earth's rotation around the sun. There are five constellations in the sky all year around, but the earth's rotational path will only allow us to observe the ones that are closest during that season's orbit.

Which constellations can you see in the summer?

In the northern hemisphere the constellations on the meridian on June 21 have a right ascension of 18 hours, and constellations from 15 to 18 hours can be seen in summer evenings. They are not as bright as the winter constellations. The main ones are Boötes (main star Arcturus), Corona Borealis, Serpens Caput, Libra, Hercules and Ophiuchus. In the southern sky, Scorpio (main star Antares). In the summer the circumpolar constellations like Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, Perseus and Draco can be seen although not in their usual winter positions.


Why are some constellations visible during winter months and not during the summer?

Because the constellations that are visible during winter are on the other side of the sun during the summer. During the year the earth spins around the sun like a big satellite. So while the earth is constantly moving, the distance that the stars are away from us cause them to look stationary from our point of view some constellations can only be seen a few months out of the year.


Why are constellations seen at different places and time?

Constellations appear to be in different places at different times due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth rotates, the position of the observer relative to the stars changes, causing different constellations to become visible. This is why different constellations can be seen in the night sky at different times and in different locations on Earth.
