No, they aren't. First of all, most constellations are illusory. The stars that make up a constellation seem to be related. Actually, they are almost never related to each other, they are vast differences apart both laterally, and depth-wise. They just appear to us to be a pattern. But to make it easier to understand, lets take the Pleiades, which are fairly close to each other, and not all that far away in celestial terms (about 540 light years.) Now imagine a pool table in your living room, with the balls on the table scattered about. That's our entiresolar system. The Pleiades are the balls scattered on a pool table in a living room two miles from your house.
