Best Answer

A constellation is a group of stars as seen from where we are. The same constellation would look different from somewhere far away. Each star is a big ball of hot gas which emits heat and light to get rid of the energy produced inside by nuclear reactions, mainly hydrogen converting to helium. A planet is a much smaller object without its own light, which goes round a star in an orbit.
