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.
Taurus is a constellation, which is (roughly speaking) a direction in space. Therefore, it makes no sense to talk about the distance to a constellation - that's like asking "how far is north", or "how far is up".
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.
Like all constellations, they are made up of stars - each one it's own unique distance from Earth. Therefor a constellation isn't a specific distance from Earth.
Aquila is a constellation containing a lot of stars, at different distances. Aquila is not at a particular distance.
52.00098 from the earth

Stars in constellation can look as if they are close together, even though they are at very far distances from earth. So the stars in constellation are not, in fact, all close together. constellations are just patterns formed by stars that happen to be in the same direction of the sky.

The name is actually El Nath, located in the Taurus constellation. (An Arabic name). El Nath is located about 131 light years away from earth.
Taurus is a constellation, not a single star. The constellation contains a very large number of stars and other cosmic objects which have no astrophysical relationship with one another. It is simply that they are located in such a direction, and are so far away, that they appear to move together. If all objects in the lines of sight within the outline of the constellation are considered as part of the constellation then there will be stars which are too dim to be seen even with the most powerful telescopes. They have, therefore, not been identified.

You haven't named the constellation you're interested in, and there are something like 88 of them. But that doesn't really matter.

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.
Pisces is a constellation of stars. From the Earth, Van Maanen's star, at a distance of 4.3 parsecs (132.5 trillion kilometres) is the nearest part of the constellation. That is too far away for it to influence any movement on the Earth's surface.
