The constellations near the plane of the ecliptic (the zodiacal constellations) are only visible at certain times of the year.
The constellations towards the poles (N and S) are visible at all times of the year from their respective hemispheres. In the South, the Southern Cross would be one example and in the North the Great Bear (or plough) would be another.

Are there circumpolar constellations on the equator?
No, circumpolar constellations are those that never set below the horizon as viewed from a certain latitude. On the equator, all constellations are visible at some point during the year but none are permanently circumpolar.
What zodiac constellations are visible in the night sky at the moment?
The zodiac constellations visible in the night sky depend on the time of year. Currently, in early December, the zodiac constellations visible in the night sky are Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Aquarius. These constellations are best seen in the evening towards the south.
Why do some constellations such as ursa minor are visble in the sky year round other constellations appear for only part of the year?
What constellations are circumpolar (visible all year, at any time of the night) depends on your latitude. If you are (for example) at a latitude of 50° north, then any start that is 50° or less from the sky's north pole will never go below the horizon. For a more detailed explanation, read the Wikipedia article on "Circumpolar star".
Do constellations change depending on the country you are viewing them from?
Yes, the constellations visible in the night sky can change depending on your location on Earth. This is because the Earth's rotation causes the stars to appear to move across the sky, making different constellations visible at different times and in different locations. The constellations that are visible also change depending on the time of year due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
Why are some constellations visible to New York State observers at midnight during April but not visible at midnight during October?
Some constellations are visible to New York State observers at midnight in April but not in October due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. As the Earth moves, different sections of the night sky become visible at different times of the year. In April, the night sky includes constellations that are positioned opposite the Sun, making them visible at midnight, while by October, those same constellations are positioned closer to the Sun and are not visible at that time. This cyclic visibility is a result of the changing angle of the Earth’s rotation and its position in its orbit.
Why aren't all constellations visible all year?
Circumpolar constellations are visible all year long, depending on where you are viewing them from. At the north pole, or the south pole, some constellations are visible year-round, these are the circumpolar constellations. On the equator, there are no circumpolar constellations because of the earths rotation, that is why circumpolar constellations are at the "poles". Some of the circumpolar constellations can also be viewed from other parts of the same hemisphere, such as the big dipper and the little dipper, although they are circumpolar, they are also seen in other parts of the northern hemisphere. Circumpolar constellations in the northern hemisphere, will never be seen at the south pole, and vice versa. I hope this helped.
What constellations are visible all year long?
Some of the constellations visible all year long from the northern hemisphere include Ursa Major (containing the Big Dipper), Ursa Minor (containing the Little Dipper with Polaris, the North Star), and Cassiopeia. In the southern hemisphere, constellations like Centaurus and Crux (Southern Cross) remain visible throughout the year.

Constellations that circle polaris and are visible year around are called?
These are called circumpolar constellations.
Are there any constellations visible in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?
Yes, there are several constellations visible in both hemispheres, known as circumpolar constellations. Examples include Ursa Major (Big Dipper) and Orion. These constellations can be seen year-round from various locations on Earth.
What constellations would you see in the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, you would be able to see constellations such as Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, Draco, and Orion. These constellations are visible at different times of the year and are easily recognizable in the northern sky.
Do you have see the same stars and constellations at different times of the year?
Yes we do, we all see the same star every night. But if you are in a certain spot you can see the constellations. Not all can see the constellations. If you can you are very lucky.
Are all constellations visible all the time?
No. As we orbit the Sun different constellations become visible, but we can only see them when it is dark. Constellations are in the sky during daylight, but the Sun is so bright, we cannot see them. A few months after that, they start to be visible in the evenings and soon at night, by which time other constellations are in daylight and cannot be seen. You will see any constellation at the same time of year, every year. So the constellations you see in the night sky tonight are the same as the ones you will see on this date in any other year. The only thing that will differ is where the Moon and planets are.
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.
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.
Are there circumpolar constellations on the equator?
No, circumpolar constellations are those that never set below the horizon as viewed from a certain latitude. On the equator, all constellations are visible at some point during the year but none are permanently circumpolar.
What constellations can be seen everywhere in the world?
The circumpolar constellations are visible throughout the year from all latitudes on Earth. Examples include Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, and Draco. These constellations never set below the horizon, making them visible in both northern and southern hemispheres.
