I should imagine that NO planet is actually seen in any constellation, certainly not with the naked eye and even the most powerful earth and orbital telescopes can't see planets outside our own solar system. The constellation you refer, Big Dipper, aka Ursa Major or "The Great Bear." In the United Kingdom the constellation is referred to as "The Plough" because of it's resemblance to an old fashioned farming tool.
