The stars in a constellation are roughly in the same direction, from our point of view, if that's what you mean.
The word is "constellation". No. Most of the stars in a constellation are unrelated; they just happen to be in the same general direction, from our point of view.
The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).
The stars in a constellation are, in general, totally unrelated. They just happen to be in the same direction, from our point of view.
A constellation, such as Crux, contains billions of stars which are unrelated to one another - they just happen to be in the same direction, from our point of view.
A constellation is a direction in the sky. The stars in a constellation are constantly moving. A million years from now, the sky won't look the same as it does now.
Please bear in mind that a constellation (such as Perseus) is basically a direction in the sky. It really doesn't make much sense to talk about the distance from such a direction (which is a direction from our point of view), to some object. If you mean the asterism (the group of stars), the main stars of Perseus - or any other constellation - happen to be more or less in the same direction, but the distance from these stars to Earth vary quite a lot.

"What is a constellation" - A visible group of stars, all in the same direction, that seem (to us) to form some picture."Are all the stars in the constellation the same distance" - No, they just happen to be in the same direction."Why do groups of stars continue to stay together" - They are extremely far away. They do move, but the distances are enormous, and it takes a while (say, a few thousands of years in the usual case) before we notice a movement."What is a constellation" - A visible group of stars, all in the same direction, that seem (to us) to form some picture."Are all the stars in the constellation the same distance" - No, they just happen to be in the same direction."Why do groups of stars continue to stay together" - They are extremely far away.

When there is a large current in the direction shown, each compass point will point in the same direction as the current.
People in the southern hemisphere often use the Southern Cross constellation to help determine the direction of south. This constellation is easily identifiable and can be used as a navigational tool since its orientation can point towards the south pole.
A constellation is basically a general direction in space. It doesn't have a definite distance. Different stars in a constellation are at different distances. The closest star from Earth happens to be in the Centaurus constellation, at a distance of about 4.2 light-years. But please note that other stars in the same constellation are much, much farther from us.A constellation is basically a general direction in space. It doesn't have a definite distance.
