If the Sun is currently located within a zodiac constellation, when is that constellation visible at night?
Answer
It is generally not observable at night, being washed out by the Sun's glare during the day.
When the Sun is passing through a constellation, that constellation is located behind the Sun from our perspective, making it only visible during daylight hours.
