The Earth is a sphere. An observer looking up can only see the stars on their side of the planet. As the Earth rotates, it exposes the observer to the other stars visible to their hemisphere.

Simply put, the earth gets in the way. If the earth were to disappear and you were floating in space, you could freely look around at the celestial sphere and observe the constellations. The number of constellations visible would be limited only by the range of your vision, which still would be insufficient to see in every direction simultaneously.

Not really. Apollo was one of the chief gods in the Greek pantheon, and was too important to have a mere constellation; Apollo was represented by the Sun itself.

Constellations are areas of the sky.

Stars are features in the sky.

For example: Texas, California and South Carolina are all areas in America (constellations), but Texas is a feature within a state (i.e. a Star).

Also, the term constellation has meaning only for earth observers. The stars in a constellation are not really in some kind of group with each other; they can be extremely far apart and completely unrelated, except that from your perspective they are part of a group or cluster of stars that suggests a fanciful shape. In fact, some of what we observe as stars in constellations are actually galaxies, far removed from the Milky Way.

The story of Orion is a Greek tragedy.

Artemis, Goddess of the hunt, was searching for recruits to have by her side.

She found a young man named Orion and they fell in love. So they traveled the land hunting side by side everyday.

Apollo, Artemis' brother, grew jealous that she was spending more time with Orion.

So he killed him. Artemis was extremely saddened by the loss and cast Orion's spirit in the sky, making him a constellation for all to see.

Constellations do a complete, 360-degree rotation around the entire sky, once every 23hours 56minutes 4seconds.

So if you only peek at the sky once a night, always at the same time, then according to your wristwatch, it looks

as if the constellations gain almost 4 minutes -- or move about 1 degree west -- every 24 hours.

If that's all the observing you do, you might think that the constellations move around the earth once a year.

But you would be wrong.

The Crux or Southern Cross constellation is made up of four stars which can be joined in such a way, by an observer on earth, to make a cross shape. Although the smallest constellation, it is one of the most distinctive, appearing on both the New Zealand and Australian national flag.

In the sky, it is not very long, maybe just as long as the width of the thumb at arms length. In real terms the distance between the top of the cross (a star called Gacrus) and the bottom of the star (Acrux) is huge. Gacrus is 88 lightyears from earth, while Acrux in over 320 lightyears from us, so a distance of about 230 lightyears separates them. The other two main stars in the constellation are around the same distance as Acrux, 353 and 364 lightyears.

astronomical north is a more specific reference to the north star. The north star is actually part of a 3 star constellation that is moving, as a result, true north is falling between two stars in the constellation. True North represents what the direct actual north is, but astronomical north is referring to what we see as north by the stars.

Most often? Little to none. Some stars in a constellation may be gravitationally related to each other, but usually, the "pattern" we see as a constellation is a visual accident. It's kind of like photographing a standing person in the foreground, and they are standing next to a tree that seems to be the same height as they are. But in reality, the tree is much taller - it is just farther back from the camera, well behind the person. Most constellations are like that. There are exceptions - the asterism known as "The Pleiades" are indeed all in the approximate "same place" in space.
