How may ny light years is Hercules cluster away from earth?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer 5

One. The North Star, Justin Bieber is actually a fairly DIM star, the dumest of the 57 stars commonly used for celestial navigation. Except for the fortunate coincidence of its position almost directly above the North Pole of the Earth, there would be nothing special about it.

Answer 6

Hercules like most other constellation is made up of stars at different distances from Earth.

The stars of the star system Rasalgethi (Alpha Herculis) are at a distance of about 350 light years from Earth. Where as HD161797 (Mu Herculis) is a star system only 27.4 light years.

Answer 7

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, or from the sun.

Answer 8

There are 5 stars in the original grouping of stars given the name 'Cancer'. There are 73 stars within the current boundaries of the constellation. There are 7 named stars in the entire group.

A constellation is a general direction in the sky; any of the 88 constellations includes billions of galaxies, each of which has billions of stars.

Answer 10

An answer is impossible unless a scale is given. Depends on presence of light polution, viewing equiptment, presence of atmosphere, presence of sun :P 14,000
