How many stars on the flag with stars in a circle American flag?

There are no documented 13 star flags in existence so we don't know how the stars were arranged except from period illustrations.Those illustrations show a tremendous variety of star patterns. Flags with circular star patterns have been used and/or proposed continually since 1795 to the present time. So the answer is "from 13 to 50."(I have a 50-star flag where the arrangement of stars is a double circle.) Though I must admit that I have never seen a 49-star flag with the stars arranged in a circle.

How are stars arranged in a constellation?

Randomly. Stars aren't "arranged" in a constellation. We humans are very good at seeing patterns - EXCEPTIONALLY good at seeing patterns. Even when there are no patterns. So humans in antiquity - before most written history - looked at the stars in the sky, back when the night sky was REALLY DARK and there was nothing to dim the skies - looked up and saw patterns in the stars. To entertain themselves, or to teach about their culture and their history, they made up stories about the patterns that they saw in the night sky. Some patterns are obvious; the constellation Orion looks too obviously like a giant man in the sky, so tales about the mighty hunter are unsurprising. The swan, the lion, the bull; each has its own story. But the shapes don't really exist, and the stories come from our own histories and fantasies.
