    Constellations appear in different parts of the sky at different months of the year because as the Earth revolves around the sun and rotates on its axis, different constellations rise and set over the course of the year. Early people used constellations to track the calendar and know when to plant and harvest crops. They also used constellations, like Polaris, for navigation.

    PART ONE
    Constellations
    A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which
    a group of visible stars forms a perceived pattern or
    outline, typically representing an animal, mythological
    subject, or inanimate object. The origins of the earliest
    constellations likely go back to prehistory. People used
    them to relate stories of their beliefs, experiences,
    creation, or mythology.
    Types of Constellation
    Circumpolar Constellations

    Seasonal Constellations

    Zodiacal Constellations
    Circumpolar Constellations

    These are around either our North or South poles


    and will appear to rotate around the pole. They
    are mostly visible all year long (though at different
    locations in their circle) for those in their
    hemisphere. Spying a circumpolar constellation in
    the opposite hemisphere is impossible and at the
    equator, you don’t see any circumpolar stars.

    Northern Circumpolar Constellations: Ursa


    Major (Big Bear, Ursa Minor (Little Bear), Draco
    (the Dragon), Cepheus (the King), Cassiopeia
    (the Queen)

    Southern Circumpolar Constellations: Crux


    (the Southern Cross), Carina (the Keel),
    Centaurus (the Centaur).
    Seasonal Constellations

    usually refers to the


    constellations that are visible
    in the sky at around 9 pm in
    the evening or to
    constellations that are best
    observed during a particular
    season.
    Zodiacal Constellations

    The term zodiac is derived


    from the Latin word zodiacus
    that means the circle of
    animals. This is a fact that half
    of the zodiac signs are
    represented by animals or
    mythological hybrids.

    Why are some constellations not
    in certain months?

    It’s because Earth is


    simultaneously revolving around
    the sun as it rotates on its axis,
    constellations in different parts of
    the sky are only visible during
    certain seasons.
