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.

"Orion" is the label given to a certain pattern of stars, and to a precisely defined region of the sky. Either way, Orion comprises a huge number of individual stars, and each and every one of them has its own magnitude.
The planets move around the sun so the planet that is pointed most toward Orion's belt will usually be the closest. Orion's belt is actually three stars that are very far away from each other (just in the same direction) so if you want to be especially precise you have to pick just one of them to ask about.
