Answers:
Constellation C will be in the east at sunset.
Constellation A will be highest in the South.
Constellation D will be setting in the west.
Constellation E will be at the lowest point below the horizon.
Explanation : The Sun will appear next to the same stars from sunrise to sunset because both the stars and the Sun move across the sky at a constant speed and neither the Sun nor do the stars remain in one spot constantly. So, taking the position of the Sun as a reference point, we can find out the required answers.
