1. What is the position of a constellation in northern

hemisphere to southern hemisphere?
EXPLAIN An observer from earth will be able to see the stars that are on
the night side. The stars on the same side as sun cannot be seen
because sunlight overpower all the starlight.

During summer in the Philippines, the constellations of Orion

and Taurus are not visible at night. They will visible again as
the cold season begins. During this time, Scorpio will not be
seen in the night sky.

Constellation were associated with religion, they also have

practical uses. Before the calendars, people had no way of
determining when to sow or harvest except by looking at these
patterns in the sky. Ancient people developed a way to
remember the patterns by giving these patterns names and
stories.

For example, in the northern hemisphere, the constellation

Orion indicates the coming of cold season. The constellation
made it easier for them to recognize and interpret in the sky.

For example, Gemini is seen in the Philippines during the

months of April and May. Farmers interpreted the appearance
of Gemini as the end of planting season and it signified rich
harvest.

The stars appear each night to move slightly west of where

they were the night before. Your location on Earth also

determines what stars and constellations you see, and how high
they appear to rise in the sky. The Northern Hemisphere is
always pointing in a different direction than the Southern
Hemisphere.

In the winter, look for Canis Major, Cetus Eridanus, Gemini,

Orion, Perseus and Taurus.

In the spring, keep an eye out for Bootes, Cancer, Crater,

Hydra, Leo and Virgo.

In the summer, Aquila, Cygnus, Hercules, Lyra, Ophiuchus,

Sagittarius and Scorpius light up the sky.

In the fall, you can see Andromeda, Aquarius, Capricornus,

Pegasus and Pisces.
