An apparent grouping of stars (as the Big Dipper) is an asterism, formerly called a constellation. (A constellation is now a bordered area of sky, equivalent to a state on a political map). Stars which are actaully associated, may be a cluster, a nebula or a galaxy.

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.
