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.
The nearest star to our solar system is roughly 104 million times as far from us
as the moon is, and all the rest are farther than that. The moon is closer to your
kitchen than it is to any star.

The middle stars of the little dipper are somewhat faint, but the two outside stars of the top and bottom of the little dipper pan are about as bright as the north star.
