Depends.

Probably Orion because of the distinctive straight line of stars making the belt and the fact that it is high in the sky. Big dipper and little dipper arn't too bad.Which constellation is the easiest to locate and why?The Big and Little Dippers, or Orion's Belt. They're both large, and easy to identify. The Dippers are seven star constellation which, like its names implies, looks like a large spoon. Orion's Belt, part of the Orion constellation is three straight stars that are in the middle of the larger Orion constellation

Orion because of the size. Its hard to miss
Firstly it depends on whether you are in the Northern or Southern hemisphere or what time of the year.



As I live in New Zealand my favourite constellation is Scorpio which is at present laying over the Milky Way. Another easy one for us is the Southern Cross which we can see all year round.Which constellation is the easiest to locate and why?
1) Ursa Major. I live on the Northern Hemisphere, %26amp; the Big Dipper %26amp; Little Dipper r always in the northern sky, %26amp; I think they're visible in any time of the year. The Big Dipper can also b clearly seen in a lite-polluted sky such as from where I walk or bike around @ night, probably because the constellation is overhead.



2) Orion. U can EZLy spot the three stars forming the belt %26amp; the four stars forming the quadrilateral around the belt. %26amp; I think u could use those stars 2 find I think Orion's arm holding his hunted prey or something. Orion I believe can b seen in the fall %26amp; winter.



Mind u, if you're a causal stargazer living in the suburbs like me %26amp; your neck of the woods has light pollution, chances r Orion %26amp; Ursa Major %26amp; Ursa Minor could b one of the few constellations u could recognise. Sometimes I could c a whole buncha stars while driving @ night on the I-5 in between L.A. %26amp; Bakersfield or on the longer drive home from Las Vegas 2 Bakersfield either on I-15 or on [California] Highway 58.
in the north--Cassiopeia--it looks like a large W (or M) in the sky
