How was Orion formed?
Orion is not a physical object, but a constellation in the night sky that was named after Orion, a hunter in Greek mythology. The stars that form the pattern we see as "Orion" are located at different distances from Earth and have no physical connection to each other. The constellation appears the way it does due to our perspective from Earth.
Is the sun closer or farther to the earth than the Orion nebula?
Orion Nebula is much further from the earth than the Sun is.
How far away is the galaxy Orion from earth?
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.
What motion cvauses the constellation Orion to be visible at midnight fron New York in winter but not in summe?
the position of the Earth at different times of the year. Sometimes when it is night, you can see Orion. This is because the night side of the Earth is pointing at Orion. On the other side of the sun, the night side is facing in the opposite direction. Away from Orion. Therefore you can't see it. This is characteristic of all locations on Earth but on the other side of the Earth, you would see it in the summer instead.

How did Orion die?
In Greek mythology, Orion was killed by a giant scorpion sent by Gaia, the Earth goddess. This was in retaliation for Orion boasting that he could kill any creature on Earth. After his death, he was placed in the sky as a constellation.
What is the size of Orion?
The stars that make up the Orion constellation are not actually all at the same distance from Earth. Some are much further away than others, so it would look very different if you could view it from another angle. The Orion Nebula which is located in the Sword of Orion is estimated to be about 24 light years across, so that gives you an idea of the distances involved.
