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.
Cancer is a constellation that appears in the northern quadrant of the sky and is visible everywhere except for higher than 60 degrees South latitude. It has a right ascension of 8h 38.96 minutes.
Beta Cancri is the brightest star in the constellation Cancer. Its common name is Altarf.
Mostly, you can't. The classical astrological signs are "Sun Signs"; that is the constellation that the Sun WAS in about 2500 years ago. Because of the "precession of the equinoxes", the Sun is actually one zodiac sign earlier now; during Cancer, the Sun is actually in the constellation of Gemini. But even so, at the beginning of July, the constellation Cancer is very low in the western sky at sunset; since none of the Cancer stars are especially bright, you probably won't see it.
The Tropic of Cancer is the parallel of roughly 23.5° north latitude. The Tropic of Capricorn is the parallel of roughly 23.5° south latitude. The angle between them has to be roughly 47°.
The Tropic of Capricorn is so named because about 2000 years ago the sun was entering the constellation Capricornus on the December solstice. In modern times the sun appears in the constellation Sagittarius during this time. The change is due to precession of the equinoxes!!
If you mean the constellation cancer, there is no such thing as a "distance to a constellation". It just doesn't make sense. A constellation is basically a general direction in space.
it is a star of a crab that reprsents cancer
Cancer can be seen in the Northern & Southern Hemisphere between Leo and Gemini.
Gemini, the Twins. It's between Taurus and Cancer.
The Zodiac sign "Cancer" is an astrological sign which is associated with the constellation "Cancer". It spans the 90-120th degree of the zodiac, between 90 and 125.25 degree of celestial longitude.
The constellation closest to Leo is Cancer. Cancer is located to the west of Leo in the night sky.

The Cancer constellation can be found in the Northern Hemisphere between Gemini and Leo. It is best visible in the months of March and April. Look for the faint grouping of stars that resemble a crab to locate Cancer in the night sky.
The Cancer constellation is best seen in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter months. It is located between the constellations of Gemini and Leo. Look for the bright star cluster called the Beehive Cluster within the Cancer constellation to identify it in the night sky.
There is no star named Cancer. Cancer is a constellation, a collection of stars. The constellation Cancer has no particularly bright or memorable stars. In the northern hemisphere, it is visible any evening after about 8 AM, when it rises about mid-way between Orion and the Big Dipper.
It doesn't make sense to talk about the distance to a constellation, or even about the average distance. A constellation is basically a direction in space. In other words, that's like asking "how far is North", or "what is the average distance to 'up'".It doesn't make sense to talk about the distance to a constellation, or even about the average distance.
