What is circumpolar when is it visible and list two circumpolar constellations?
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.
How do you determine north east south and west when traveling?
Use a compass :) Or I think there is something to do with the stars A compass is the simplest to use. A GPS system is fancy but expensive. In the northern hemisphere, if you can see the stars, the North Star (Polaris) is always almost precisely north, and the Big Dipper and Little Dipper constellations (Ursa Major and Ursa Minor) are north "enough" to probably keep you properly oriented. During the day, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. And if you have a watch with hands (not digital), point the hour hand in the direction of the sun, and halfway between that and twelve is south.
