This constellation looks like a hunter. It has three stars as a belt of the hunter. There are some faint stars below the belt forming the sword of the hunter. The two brightest stars of this constellation are Betelgeuse (Punarvasu) and Regel (Mrigshira)

Write a short note on any two constellations.?

Write a short note on any two constellations.


Is a group of stars arranged to make a definite pattern?

That is called an asterism.(Note: The word "constellation" is also used, but actually, the current definition of "constellation" is unrelated to stars.)


What is the name of the brightest star in the constellation?

Ah, just a happy little question you have there! The brightest star in the constellation can vary depending on which constellation you're referring to. There's a star that might twinkle a bit brighter than the rest, but really, every star in the constellation is special in its own way, just like all of us! Isn't that just lovely?


What distance is the constellation Leo from the sun?

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.


How far is Ursa Major from the sun?

Any constellation is a group of stars that appear to form some kind of pattern, but have no connection with each other. They all happen to be in roughly the same direction from us, but they're all at different distances. So there's no such thing as a constellation's distance from us. Note that the Earth's distance from the sun is about 0.00000038 of the distance from the sun to the next nearest star.
