How is the grouping of stars in a constellation different from the grouping of planets in a solar system?
Grouping of stars in constellations is completely arbitrary as it depends solely on our point of view (stars in particular constellation aren't really near together and can be separated by great distances - in fact stars belonging to two different constellations may be closer together than stars in just one of them) and was influenced by our mythological views.
Grouping of planets in a solar system at least has an actual basis: planets are gravitationally bound to a star and are located nearby.

What planets are in the constellation ursa major?
There are no planets in the constellation Ursa Major. This constellation is home to many stars, including the well-known star cluster known as the Big Dipper or the Plough. However, planets in our solar system can be seen passing through or near Ursa Major at different times due to their orbits.
Do any planets make up constellation of Big Dipper?
No, they are all stars. Planets do not "make" any constellations but they may be present around a constellation's stars. Also, the big dipper is not a constellation. It's an asterism. It's part of the constellation Ursa Major.
Difference between solar system and constellation?
The Solar system is the collection of planets orbiting around the sun(sol). A constellation is a collect/pattern of stars seen in the night sky.
Can planets of the solar system be found in the Big Dipper?
No, the big dipper (or Ursa Major) is not in the area of the sky that the planets move through. All of the planets, sun and moon are more or less on the same plane, so they all move in the same east/west line across the sky. Ursa Major is more to the north.
How is the grouping of stars in a constellation different from the grouping of planets in the solar system?
A solar system is a star with planets orbiting it. A constellation is our view of several stars in patterns. Most constellations are just different stars that are very far apart, but from our point of view they seem close.
How is the Milky Way the same as a constellation?
The Milky Way is a galaxy made up of billions of stars of which our solar system is a part. A constellation is a grouping of stars in apparent proximity that form identifiable patterns. Both are made up of stars.
What constellation is associated with he was ruler of horses and the seas?
Neptune was the ruler of horses and the sea, but he was not a constellation, he was a god. You may be confused here because one of the planets in our solar system is called Neptune.
How are asteroids different than planets?
planets are apart and help are solar system and asteroids hit are planets
What is a large group of stars in space?
A large group of stars in space is called a galaxy. These galaxies can consist of billions or even trillions of stars, along with various other astronomical objects like planets, gas, and dust. Our own galaxy is called the Milky Way.
Why can't planets make a constellation?
The reason is because planets move too fast in relative comparison to other stars to be set in one constellation. After all, planet is Greek for "wandering star", meaning that it literally wanders amongst the constellations
Are the planets after Pluto in a different solar system?
No, the planets after Pluto are still within our solar system. After Pluto, there is Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and several other dwarf planets and minor planets that are part of our solar system. Beyond these, there is the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud which are also part of our solar system.
What constellation is Mars in?
