The Orion Arm is a minor spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy some 3,500 light years across and approximately 10,000 light years in length.
Also referred to as the Local Arm, the Local Spuror the Orion Spur.
It would be impossible to say how many stars are located within it, as there is no real defining boundary. A guesstimate would be in the order of a few billion.
See link for a pictorial representation of the Milky Way Galaxy and the Orion Arm.

Orion is also a constellation. It contains 2 shoulder stars, 3 belt stars, 2 weapon stars, 9 shield stars and 4 swords stars and is comprised of about 20 stars.
Orion's Belt or The Belt of Orion is an astronomical asterism in the constellation Orion and do not have a constellation itself. However, Orion's Belt consists of the three bright stars Ori (Alnitak), Ori (Alnilam), and Ori (Mintaka).
The same three stars are known in Latin America as "The Three Marys". They also mark the northern night sky when the sun is at it's lowest point.
There are 23 stars that make up Orion and 3 that make up the belt.
8: Betelgeuse, Miessa, Bellatrix, Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka, Saiph, and Rigel.
Three stars make up Orion's Belt - Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka
There 3 stars in orion's belt: Mintaka (westernmost) Alnilam (center) Alnitak (easternmost)
23 stars are in orion's belt i was just gettting the answer for science
Alnilam, Alnitak and Mintaka are the 3 stars that make up Orion's belt.
3 main ones going across / horizontal, then another 3 'dots' in the sky downwards / vertical which is consisted of another 2 stars and Orion's Nebula.
A constellation is basically a direction in the sky. The further you go (or the weaker the stars you include in your count), the more stars you will find.A constellation is basically a direction in the sky.

A constellation is a patch of sky. Asking how far away it is is meaningless. You could ask how far away individual stars are, but there are a lot of stars in Cygnus at many vastly different distances. Deneb, the brightest star in Cygnus, is a bit of a quandary; it's variable, making its distance difficult to measure. The generally accepted value is about 2600 light years, but the Hipparchos satellite measurement is about half that, at around 1500 light years.
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).
Ursa Minor is a star constellation. As such, one cannot think of it in terms of how far it is from earth because the stars that make up the constellation are not located in the same area of space.
There are 23 in Orion the Hunter. but of those make up his belt.
See related link and make your own mind up as to what colour it is.
12 stars make up the phoenix constellation.
A group of two or more stars together make up a constellation.

A few constellations have three stars in a row. The most famous one is probably Orion the Hunter - three stars in a row make up his belt. This constellation is visible in winter in the Northern Hemisphere and the summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Another constellation with three stars in a row is Scorpius the scorpion - only instead of the three stars being horizontal, the three stars are vertical and just to the right of Antares, the Scorpion's heart.
The constellation Ursa major, is made up of 17 stars. The big dipper is found within this constellation and makes up for 7 of the stars.
