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.

Big Dipper
No, Jupiter is not located in the Big Dipper constellation. Jupiter is a bright planet that can often be seen in the night sky, but its position changes over time due to its orbit around the Sun. The Big Dipper is part of the Ursa Major constellation and does not contain any planets.
The Big Dipper is not a smaller constellation. The Big Dipper is a part of an even larger constellation. The Big Dipper is a part of the Constellation, Ursula Major or Big Bear. It is only part of the Bear. Likewise, the little dipper is part of a larger constellation, Ursula Minor or Little Bear.
true NO NO NO NO NO! My teacher would yell at you. The big dipper is NOT a constellation. The big dipper is a part of Ursa Major, the Big Bear. Therefore, the statement is FALSE. The big dipper is an Asterism, not a Constellation.
...the answer is... ...Ursa Major...

The planet closest to the Big Dipper in our solar system is Earth. The Big Dipper is just a pattern of stars in the constellation Ursa Major, whereas planets like Earth orbit the Sun.
While generally thought of as one, the Big Dipper is NOT a constellation. It is an asterism - a group of stars that are part of a constellation. The Big Dipper is part of the constellation Ursa Major (the great bear).
All of them. You can see the Big Dipper anywhere in the northern hemisphere.
Inside the constellation
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.
No the big dipper is IN Ursa Major and the little dipper is in Ursa Minor
