Because we are in the Milky Way galaxy, where there are huge numbers of stars
in every direction from us that can be seen any time the sun isn't up in the sky.
If you live in the northern hemisphere, Ursa Minor can be seen in every month of the year. It is one of the constellations that never sets, so it can be seen all year round.If you live in the northern hemisphere, Ursa Minor can be seen in every month of the year.

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.
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.
Also known as the North Star, Polaris, is located within one degree of the north celestial pole - the point of Earth's axis of rotation. This means that the Earth's (geographic) north pole is pointing almost exactly to the point in the sky where Polaris is located. For this reason, Polaris can be seen by anyone in the northern hemisphere throughout the year.
All the constellations were fixed to a crystal sphere that rotates at a slightly different rate from the Sun's rotation rate. So while the Sun goes round 365 times in a year, the sphere of the constellations go round 366 times.

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.
It is both, as Cassiopeia is one of the constellations that can be seen all year round.
The dates in which a constellation can be seen depend on its position in the night sky and the time of year. Different constellations are visible at different times throughout the year, so it's best to consult a star chart or stargazing app to find out when a specific constellation can be seen.
There are 88 recognized constellations that can be seen with the naked eye from different parts of the world.
Yes, all constellations have at least some stars that can be seen with the unaided eye.

The time of year and the observer's latitude determine where the constellations are seen in the sky. As the Earth orbits the Sun, different constellations become visible at different times of the year. Additionally, an observer's location on Earth's surface affects which constellations are visible due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
The observer's location and the time of the year :)
Constellations can be seen throughout the year, but different constellations are visible during different seasons. For example, during summer in the Northern Hemisphere, constellations like Scorpius and Cygnus are prominent in the night sky, while in winter, Orion and Taurus are more visible.
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.
