Why can I see certain notable constellations appear in radically different parts of the sky at different times of the year?

If the Earth is accelerating upwards, why don't any constellations disappear below the edge of the Earth and never return? If the stars are accelerating with us, why do they appear to move around?

Just because the stars are accelerating with us, doesn't mean they can't have a velocity relative to us.

So you're saying that they rotate round the earth and accelerate with us.

Even if the stars are accelerating with us and have their own fluctuating velocities, then why do they all move in circular patterns? That would imply a non-constant acceleration. Why would the stars have a non-constant acceleration while the Earth does? Does FE theory also imply geocentricity?

so why cant you see half of them for half a year? is it because they forgot to accelerate? or did they make a landing on the endless tundra?
