They actually don't stay the same - they change over time. It's just that what we consider a long period of time is a mere "eyeblink" in cosmic time. In the next thousand years, the constellations will actually change their shape, slowly but surely. If you could go forward in time 50, 000 years, you would not be able to recognize a lot of the sky.

What is constellation are all the stars in the constellation the same distance from us why do groups of stars continue to stay together?
"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.

Is it possible to make sky maps in which planets are connected with constellation for years?
Of course you can draw a planet in a constellation, and it will stay there - on the paper. But in the real sky, the planets will not stay in any constellation for a long time. They move around.To track the current position of a planet, nowadays you can use some software, for example, "Redshift".Of course you can draw a planet in a constellation, and it will stay there - on the paper.

How does a constellation stay the same?
Actually, all the stars of a constellation are in motion. It is just that the distance between them is so great that the motion is not apparent to us. Over the course of thousands of years you could tell they change positions with respect to each other.
