Ok so we revolve around the sun. At nighttime in January we face away from the sun to see the nighttime sky and stars.

6 months later in July we’re on the opposite side of the sun and now again at nighttime we face away from the sun.

But this direction is now 180 degrees away from the January direction… but the nighttime sky is still the same

How is that possible

    The constellations are different at different times of year. Scorpio is the scorpion that killed Orion, so they were thrown into different parts of the sky since they don’t get along, and that’s whey Scorpio appears in the summer and Orion appears in the winter.
