The stars that make up the Orion constellation are not actually all at the same distance from Earth. Some are much further away than others, so it would look very different if you could view it from another angle. The Orion Nebula which is located in the Sword of Orion is estimated to be about 24 light years across, so that gives you an idea of the distances involved.
