What type of stars does the constellation have?
Constellations do not exist in space; the constellations, the patterns of stars in the sky and the names that we give them, exist only in our minds. There isn't actually any connection between the stars, and when we travel to other stars, we'll find that the constellations that are familiar to us will disappear.However, the constellations that we see are primarily composed of especially bright stars. If they weren't bright, we wouldn't have noticed them!
How far away are the stars in the constellation Gemini?
Gemini is made up of many, many stars - each one having it's own relative distance form Earth. It only looks like Gemini from our perspective... in another solar system, you wouldn't recognize it.
