The Big Dipper is not a constellation itself, but rather an asterism - a pattern of stars within the constellation Ursa Major. The Big Dipper spans about 10 degrees of the sky, which is roughly the width of your fist held at arm's length.
The Big Dipper and the Little Dipper are parts of the Ursa Major and Ursa Minor constellations, respectively. The Big Dipper is the most recognizable part of Ursa Major, while the Little Dipper is an asterism within Ursa Minor.

Next to the Big Dipper is the constellation Ursa Major, which is commonly known as the Great Bear. Just to the east of the Big Dipper is the constellation Leo, another prominent constellation in the night sky.
