How far away are the stars in Leo the constellation?
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.
Is Draco near any other constellation?
Boötes, Hercules, Lyra, Cygnus, Cepheus, Ursa Minor, Camelopardalis and Ursa Major all border Draco.
Which constellation was the first one found?
People have always looked at the stars. A constellation is just an artificial grouping into an imaginary image or shape as seen from a particular point of view (the earth) and does not represent a real relationship in space. That is, stars that look close to each other from this angle are not necessarily near each other at all, and those positions do not have any meaning. So there's not any real discovery or finding involved.
How many stars are in the constellation Lynx?
The number of stars in any constellation is uncountable.
How does the appearances of a constellation seem to change at night?
The biggest notable change is that they appear to move across the sky. This is of course due to Earth's rotation, and not the constellation moving. Standing looking at a constellation, you will not notice it move. You would need something to relate it to, like something on the horizon. If you look very carefully, you will see movement. Over the course of a night, it will appear to move in an arc shape, rising and then setting. If you regularly viewed a constellation across a few days or weeks, you would also notice that the time they rise is different and the time they are visible at a certain point in the sky is different. You will not notice any change in the stars in relation to each other within a constellation. Even during a lifetime, never mind one night, a particular constellation will look the same to you, as the changes would be so slight. If the moon is visible near a constellation, you would notice some movement over the course of a night in relation to stars in the constellation, and certainly over the course of a few nights. If there is a planet near them, you will notice some movement, but not near as much as the moon. The nearer planets, like Venus and Mars are more noticeable in their changes compared to other planets.
What are close galaxy's to Leo?
Leo is a constellation, that is to say, a direction in the sky. Just as in any other constellation, there are lots of galaxies in this constellation.

How far away are the stars in Leo the constellation?
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.
Is Leo visible all year?
No. For the Sun to be "in" one of the constellations means that the constellation is BEHIND the Sun, and so invisible. Any constellation is, on average, visible for 9 months of the year, with the 3 months of non-visibility being centered on that constellation.
What is special about the constelation of Leo?
The Sun does not belong to any constellation. This is because our Earth goes around the Sun. As a result, the Sun moves in the sky relative to the other stars. So, the Sun appears to move through the constellations of the zodiac, which is why you hear that the Sun is in a particular zodiac constellation in a particular month. For example, in September, the Sun is in the constellation of Virgo. In October, it will go to the constellation of Libra, and so on.
How far is the Leo constellation from earth?

How far away from earth is the Leo?
If you mean the constellation Leo: That is only a general direction in the sky, and some stars in that direction. The phantasy of the ancients made a lion out of it - hence the name. The individual stars in any constellation are at very different distances; ranging from a few light-years, to thousands of light years. If you look through a more powerful telescope, you will see galaxies, at distances of a few hundred thousands light years, up to billions of light years (depending on how powerful the telescope is).
Is Draco near any other constellation?
Boötes, Hercules, Lyra, Cygnus, Cepheus, Ursa Minor, Camelopardalis and Ursa Major all border Draco.
How many stars does the constellation monoceros have?
Billions or trillions of stars, just like any other constellation. A constellation is basically a general direction in space.
What constellations are in the little dipper?
