Any constellation is a group of stars that appear to form some kind of pattern,

but have no connection with each other. They all happen to be in roughly the

same direction from us, but they're all at different distances. So there's no

such thing as a constellation's distance from us.

How far away from earth is the Leo?

If you mean the constellation Leo: That is only a general direction in the sky, and some stars in that direction. The phantasy of the ancients made a lion out of it - hence the name. The individual stars in any constellation are at very different distances; ranging from a few light-years, to thousands of light years. If you look through a more powerful telescope, you will see galaxies, at distances of a few hundred thousands light years, up to billions of light years (depending on how powerful the telescope is).


How far apart are the stars of Leo the lion?

Thinks of a constellation as being, basically, a direction in space - the stars are not related one to another. So, some of the stars in that direction are billions of light-years away from us, and of course, billions of light-years away from the nearer stars.


What is Leos gravity?

If, by Leo, you mean the constellation Leo, then it has no noticeable gravity. Leo is a constellation, not a single star. The constellation contains a very large number of stars and other cosmic objects which have no astrophysical relationship with one another. It is simply that they are located in such a direction, and are so far away, that they appear to move together. The distances to the cosmic objects that make up Leo range from 7.78 light years to 6,653 light years.


How far away is the Leo constellation from the earth?

The stars in each constellation are at varying distances from our solar system. The star Wolf 359, one of the nearest stars to Earth (7.78 light-years), is in Leo. Gliese 436, a faint star in Leo about 33 light years away. So to answer your question, the constellation Leo is spread out between 7 to 33 light years away. Light travels about 6 trillion miles in one year, so between 42 trillion and 198 trillion miles away.

What is the distance from earth and the constellation perseus?

You can't really say how far a constellation is. A constellation is just a group of stars, and even though the stars in a constellation look close together in the sky, in reality they might be very far from each other. Some of the stars could be relatively close to us, and some much farther away. Really, the only question you can answer is how far from earth is each individual star in Perseus is.
