How far away from earth is the Leo?

Answer 1

8

Answer 2

If you mean the constellation Leo: That is only a general direction in the sky, and some stars in that direction. The phantasy of the ancients made a lion out of it - hence the name. The individual stars in any constellation are at very different distances; ranging from a few light-years, to thousands of light years. If you look through a more powerful telescope, you will see galaxies, at distances of a few hundred thousands light years, up to billions of light years (depending on how powerful the telescope is).

Answer 3

Leo is a constellation, not a single star. The constellation contains a very large number of stars and other cosmic objects which have no astrophysical relationship with one another. It is simply that they are located in such direction, and are so far away, that they appear to move together. The distances to the cosmic objects that make up Leo range from 7.78 light years to 6,653 light years. You can take your pick as to which number in that range represents the distance to Leo.
