The constellation Leo is located approximately 77 light-years away from Earth. However, it's important to note that constellations are patterns of stars that can be at varying distances from us, and the stars within Leo are not all at the same distance. The closest bright star in Leo, Regulus, is about 79 light-years away.

Where is the star Leo located and when is it located?

Leo is a constellation not a star . Although Leo is the name of a constellation, several of the stars in the constellation share the name. The star "Regulus" is also known as "Cor Leo". All of the brightest stars in Leo are designated "Leo" with a Greek letter prefixing "Leo" to indicate they are in that constellation. The constellation itself is found between Cancer and Virgo. Astronomically, the sun passes into the 30 degree portion of the sky marked by the constellation Leo from about mid August to mid September. Astrological systems assign the specific days a bit differently depending on the year and the particular astrological system. . Because the sun is in Leo in August to September, the best time to see Leo at night is from November to May. Leo is dominant in the night sky at the opposite time of the year from when the sun transits the constellation; that is, from February to March. . The Leonid meteor storm appears as if radiating from the constellation Leo, and is usually seen best in November.

The Sun does not belong to any constellation. This is because our Earth goes around the Sun. As a result, the Sun moves in the sky relative to the other stars.

For example, in September, the Sun is in the constellation of Virgo. In October, it will go to the constellation of Libra, and so on.
