Constellation Connections
Constellations are groups of stars. Some stars may be closer than others and some may be brighter. The constellations you see depend on where you are on Earth and where the Earth is along its path as it orbits the sun. Constellations change by the season, except those that occur around the poles. Only the stars on the dark side of the Earth can be seen. Many of the stars we see in the summer can’t be seen in the winter because they are on the same side of the sky as the sun.
Can you identify and connect the dots to complete the constellation?
Which observer on Earth, A or B, is not able to see the starlight because of brightness of the sun?
