The correct response is:

The Earth’s tilt changes its position relative to the stars and constellations as the Earth rotates and orbits.

This statement accurately describes how the combination of Earth's rotation on its axis and its orbit around the Sun affects the apparent positions of stars and constellations in the night sky. As Earth rotates, stars appear to move across the sky, and as Earth orbits the Sun throughout the year, different constellations become visible at different times.
