At the poles half the sky is circumpolar all the time but you only get to see the stars in winter. They seem to go round a vertical axis.
In typical northern hemisphere places constellations like Ursa Minor, Draco, Cassiopeia, Perseus and Cepheus are cirumpolar. If you go to North Norway other constellations like Gemini are circumpolar. It depends on your latitude.

What is a type of radiation used to analyze colored solutions?
The fact the solution is colored means that it absorbs (or interacts at least) with visible (since you can see it!). Generally such compounds are characterized using visible light, but also ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) which are the two regions of the electromagnetic spectrum adjacent to visible light. This type of analysis is generally called UV/visible spectroscopy (although it frequently also extends into the near IR region).

Do constellations appear the same in the northern and southern hemispheres?
Imagine a sphere floating in the middle of your room. Divide that sphere into southern and northen hemispheres, and place imaginary little people on both hemispheres. The ones on the top will be able to see the roof, but not the floor (at least not all of it), and the ones on the bottom will have te reverse situation. The earth is the same... but there is no roof and no floor, just different stars and galaxies distributed in the universe, and therefore, different constellations visible. The fact that the earth also rotates explains why you can see all the "walls", but never all regions of the "floor", when you are in the north

There are many correct answers to this one. There are 12 constellations that are around the ecliptic, or the "celestial equator". We call these the "signs of the Zodiac".
