There are 88 constellations all day. Constellation standard number was formulated by the International Astronomical Union in 1930. The constellation you see in leisure magazines is the famous zodiac. These constellations are just above the ecliptic, which is the only route for the sun in the sky, so it is called the zodiac. And which constellation you belong to depends on which constellation the sun was in when you were born.
All this happened more than two thousand years ago. The sun runs from west to east on the ecliptic, and turns around the "sky" once a year. There are constellations on both sides of the twelve main shaw. They are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
Except for the zodiac, all other constellations are located in the southern or northern sky and are called silver or bronze, which is divided according to the distance from the sun.
