They are like any of the other stars, and they will run out of fuel eventually. Many of them may have already burned out, but light evidence of the events has not yet reached us.

They all will, eventually. But the lifespans of stars are generally longer than the lifespans of entire species. The only major "constellation star" that might possibly "burn out" in our lifetimes is the red giant star Betelgeuse, at the shoulder of Orion. Betelgeuse is a relatively old star; about 10 million years old, which is very short for a star, but the bigger the star, the faster it burns out. Astronomers expect Betelgeuse to explode in a titanic supernova explosion "real soon now" on an astronomical time frame - which means any time between "now!" and about 100,000 years from now.
Fortunately, Betelgeuse is about 800 light-years away, so when explodes the Earth will be in no danger. But it ought to be a spectacular sight, shining as brightly as the full moon does!
They don't, actually. However, because the stars are so far away, even though they're moving it takes them a long time to move enough for us to notice without taking photographs and making very precise measurements.
Technically, they don't. Every star is in high-speed motion, all in different directions.
We can't see it, because they're so far away that the motion appears minuscule.
But in 1,000 years, we'll see that they have moved slightly from the positions
they used to occupy.
The fact that the north star Polaris happens to be almost directly above the north pole is, to be honest, merely coincidence, although a very fortunate one.
Every gyroscope experiences a wobbling phenomenon called precession. The Earth does, too. The problem is that the precession of the Earth is so S...L....O....W.... that nobody lives long enough to notice it! The cycle takes about 25,800 years to complete, and our civilization has only existed for about 3000 years. So the amount of the precession is measurable, but isn't obvious to the casual observer.
In 12000 years, the very bright star Vega will be fairly close to being a "pole star", and in the intervening years a succession of relatively dim stars may fill that role. 26,000 years from now, we'll be back to having Polaris as the pole star again - although by that time, we may be living on the planets of Polaris!
our view of them is light years away, and our life time is but a relative millisecond in their changes.
because it is made up of stars
This is not a question. There are hundreds of stars in the Universe. Some stars even form many constellations.
Constellations are groups of stars. A planet orbits a single star. No, constellations do not orbit planets.
A solar system is a star with planets orbiting it. A constellation is our view of several stars in patterns. Most constellations are just different stars that are very far apart, but from our point of view they seem close.
There are completely different constellations on South sky. Behind the equator there is no Northern star visible.
Not directly. The ancient people who made up the constellations named them for the vague shapes that they thought they saw in the patterns.
Yes we do, we all see the same star every night. But if you are in a certain spot you can see the constellations. Not all can see the constellations. If you can you are very lucky.
None. Many stars make up constellations.
This is not a question. There are hundreds of stars in the Universe. Some stars even form many constellations.
2 constellations with 5 stars are Cassiopeia & Cepheus.
Constellations are groups of stars. A planet orbits a single star. No, constellations do not orbit planets.
Star constellations are the different patterns that the stars in the sky make up. They do not change their shape.
We would not exist. Our sun is a star.
Neither is a star. Both are constellations.
Pointer Stars are stars that are used to pinpoint other areas in the sky, such as constellations.
it is called an star chart
There are constellations, groups of stars or star clusters that look like an animal/person/thing.
The size of stars depends on their mass and the stage of their life cycle. Constellations are just stars which happen to lie in the same general direction from Earth, and have nothing really to do with each other. Apparent brightess of a star or galaxy is the result of its intrinsic brightness and its distance from us.
