Any constellation is a group of stars that appear to form some kind of pattern,
but have no connection with each other. They all happen to be in roughly the
same direction from us, but they're all at different distances. So there's no
such thing as a constellation's distance from us.
Like all constellations, they are made up of stars - each one it's own unique distance from Earth. Therefor a constellation isn't a specific distance from Earth.
No. There can be huge differences. A brighter star at a bigger distance will look just like a weaker star at a shorter distance.
Orion is a constellation, not a galaxy. The stars in it appear to form a pattern but they are not a unit and they are all completely different distances away. So there is no definitive distance that you can say Orion is away from us. You can only talk about the distance of individual stars that are in it.

You can't really say how far a constellation is. A constellation is just a group of stars, and even though the stars in a constellation look close together in the sky, in reality they might be very far from each other. Some of the stars could be relatively close to us, and some much farther away. Really, the only question you can answer is how far from earth is each individual star in Perseus is.
A constellation is not at a particular distance. The stars in a constellation are at various distances. It just looks like they are are in a connected group because we can't sense their distance by naked eye observation.

There is no single answer to this question. The stars' distances can range from 10 or so light years to about 60,000 light years. You have to specify which stars.

As a constellation is made up of many stars, each a different distance from us, it's not possible to say for a whole constellation.. However the nearest, 10 Tau is about 45 light years away.

"What is a constellation" - A visible group of stars, all in the same direction, that seem (to us) to form some picture."Are all the stars in the constellation the same distance" - No, they just happen to be in the same direction."Why do groups of stars continue to stay together" - They are extremely far away. They do move, but the distances are enormous, and it takes a while (say, a few thousands of years in the usual case) before we notice a movement."What is a constellation" - A visible group of stars, all in the same direction, that seem (to us) to form some picture."Are all the stars in the constellation the same distance" - No, they just happen to be in the same direction."Why do groups of stars continue to stay together" - They are extremely far away.

Perseus is a constellation ... a collection of individual stars that appear to form a pattern in the sky because of their positions. The stars of a constellation have no connection or association with each other. Each one has its own individual color, temperature, size, and distance from our solar system.
