What type of star is the constellation Cassiopeia?
Cassiopeia is a constellation in the northern sky. It was named after the vain queen Cassiopeia in Greek mythology, who boasted about her unrivaled beauty. As punishment for her vanity she was forced to endlessly circle the North Star.

What are all the star types involved in the Cassiopeia constellation?
Cassiopeia contains all kinds of stars, some close to us, some far off. They are all grouped in an area of the sky when seen from Earth, but seen from somewhere else they could look quite different and they might not be grouped together. So every constellation contains all sorts of stars.
Why is Cassiopeia upside down?
The Constellation of Cassiopea isn't always upside down. Depending on where you are and what season it it, we see the sky in different ways as the Earth continues its orbit around Sol (our sun) Look for Cassiopea 6 months after you see it upside down. It will be right side up.
Is there a chimera constellation?
No, but there is a constellation that look similar which is the Leo constellation(a lion).

In what constellation is earth in?
That would depend on where you looked at it from. All constellations depend on where they are seen from. If our planet were orbiting around a different star, most, if not all the constillations would look different. If you are on the Earth, it's not in any constellation.

Where can cassiopeia be seen?
If you live north of roughly 34° north latitude, then Cassiopeia is always in the sky, 24/7. It never sets below your horizon, and is visible at any time on any clear night. (34° north is roughly the line through Los Angeles, Lubbock TX, Atlanta, Rabat Morocco, Beirut Lebanon, Baghdad, Kabul, and Xi'an China.) If your favorite stargazing hour is 10 PM, then Cassiopeia is highest in the sky around the beginning of December. If you prefer 4 AM, then Cassiopeia is highest in the sky at that hour around the beginning of August.
How many light years is cassiopeia away from earth?
A "distance" to Cassiopeia cannot be stated. Here's why. When we look out into space, we look at everything that is in that direction. We see "everything that's bright enough to be seen" with any view. If a small, modestly bright star is there and relatively close, we see it. (We wouldn't see it if it was far away.) If a star is really big and bright and really far away, we can see that, too. Considering the two example stars mentioned, if they are both "seen in a constellation" then the distance from one to the other is set aside. (We can't actually tell which is closer.) A constellation is a flat, 2-dimensional picture. Remember that it's a 3-dimensional universe, and the question cannot be approached in a 2-D way. Cassiopeia, a constellation in the northern hemisphere, is actually made up of several stars whose distance from here ranges from about 20 light years for one star (which is actually a binary star) to 441 light years for another, to 7800 light years for a third, to 11,650 light years for yet another. A link to the Wikipedia article (where some data for this article was mined) on this constellation is provided.
