Taurus is a constellation, which is (roughly speaking) a direction in space. Therefore, it makes no sense to talk about the distance to a constellation - that's like asking "how far is north", or "how far is up".

Taurus is a large and prominent constellation. Its components are:

  • Aldebaran
  • the Hyades
  • the Pleiades,
  • Beta (β) Tauri
  • Zeta (ζ) Tauri
  • the Crab Nebula (M1)
  • Lambda (λ) Tauri
  • Epsilon (ε) Tauri
  • T Tauri

The closest of these is Gliese 176 (HD 285968) a red dwarf star at 30.72 light years.

"Taurus" is a constellation ... a group of several stars that are completely unrelated

to each other except in the minds of human beings. The stars of the constellation

all have different colors, temperatures, masses, absolute magnitudes, sizes, and

distances from Earth.

A constellation is a general DIRECTION IN SPACE. That's like asking how far is up, how far is left, or how far is north.
