A few constellations have three stars in a row. The most famous one is probably Orion the Hunter - three stars in a row make up his belt. This constellation is visible in winter in the Northern Hemisphere and the summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Another constellation with three stars in a row is Scorpius the scorpion - only instead of the three stars being horizontal, the three stars are vertical and just to the right of Antares, the Scorpion's heart.
There are 88 constellations nowadays. And by definition, a constellation isn't only the stars you're used to see in connected lines - it is a region of the sky with perpendicular boundaries including stars, nebulae, objects, etc. For a list of constellations look at http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/constellation_list.html
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.
Phoenix is a minor constellation in the southern sky.It is named after the Phoenix a mythical bird. There are only two stars in the whole constellation which are brighter in magnitude 5.0.Alpha Phoenicis is named Ankaa , an Arabic word meaning "The Phoenix"
A constellation is defined as a certain "area" in the sky - similar to the lines that divide countries on a continent. All the stars in that general direction are part of the constellation - millions of them, or billions or trillions, if you include stars that are faint enough.

The constellation has a total of 281 stars in the area defined by the constellation boundary of which only 11 are main stars.
Well, the Milky Way doesn't only include stars but it includes planets too.
Canis Minor, with only two stars.
No. Neptune is a planet, while a constellation is a pattern of stars in the sky. The thing about constellations is that they do not really exist; Neptune is real and the stars are real, but the PATTERN of the stars exists only in our own minds.

No. Most stars you can see are relatively local, and a distributed fairly evenly around us. Some stars in a constellation could be much farther (or closer) than others in the same constellation.
There is only one main star and the name of it is Sadalmelik.
1, there is only 1 MAIN star.
some people think 21 main stars and others 7 main stars.
The constellation of five stars represent the Southern Cross seen only in the southern hemisphere.
