Why does the position of the constellation Orion appear to change throughout the year?

earth revolves around the sun, the sun moves about the milky way galaxy, each of the 200 BILLION galaxies move about the universe.



Because the earths axis is slightly offcenter, constellation "wobble' this is called constellation drift.



As the earth rotates around the sun, every 365 days, we see different seasonal constellations because the earth faces different directions in space. This is called Seasonal motion



As our sun moves within it's path in the galaxy, so does each of the stars that make up orion (or any other constllation). This is called STELLAR DRIFT



At the site listed below, you will see how the constellation pisces will change. Sorry, I couldn't find one for Orion, but the process is the same. ALL the consteallations we see are subtly different than what the ancient astroligers saw when they made up astrology.



Consteallations ARE still being used by astronomors, but we understand now that EACH star is moving in 5 dimensions relative to any observer.Why does the position of the constellation Orion appear to change throughout the year?Yesterday's starry night looked somewhat the same as today's, but as we make our "trip" around the Sun, there's a slight difference of roughly 4 minutes a day.



So, when you look up tonight at, say, 11 o'clock you might say to yourself that you saw the same at somewhat the same time yesterday.



But these 4 minutes a day make half an hour a week or 2 hours a month!



The Orion is part of the Autumn and Winter sky (Northern hemisphere).Why does the position of the constellation Orion appear to change throughout the year?
The constellation Orion is fixed (ie - thataway).....



but the earth rotates around and away from it as the year progresses. As well as factoring in the earth's tilt.Why does the position of the constellation Orion appear to change throughout the year?Shouldn't you be asking this over in Astronomy?



Hello our planet moves!



Ever heard of rotation of the axis?Why does the position of the constellation Orion appear to change throughout the year?
the earth rotates around the sunWhy does the position of the constellation Orion appear to change throughout the year?Because the earth wobbles like a top.Why does the position of the constellation Orion appear to change throughout the year?
maybe because the stars burn out.
