Is Orion near the North Star?
You've used the unscientific word "near" in the question, which opens up the answer to opinion, judgement, and debate. I'll put it this way, and then you can decide for yourself whether you'll call it 'near': -- The farthest that anything in the sky can possibly be from the North Star is 180 degrees. -- The region of the sky labeled 'Orion' on official constellation maps ranges between 67° and 101° from the North Star. -- The average of that area is 84° from the North Star, or about 47% as far from it as anything can possibly be. -- In particular, the 'belt' of Orion is almost exactly 1/2 of the sky away from the North Star. -- So roughly half of everything in the sky is nearer to the North Star than Orion is.
