The North Star, Polaris, is about half-way between the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia.
A "distance" to Cassiopeia cannot be stated. Here's why. When we look out into space, we look at everything that is in that direction. We see "everything that's bright enough to be seen" with any view. If a small, modestly bright star is there and relatively close, we see it. (We wouldn't see it if it was far away.) If a star is really big and bright and really far away, we can see that, too. Considering the two example stars mentioned, if they are both "seen in a constellation" then the distance from one to the other is set aside. (We can't actually tell which is closer.) A constellation is a flat, 2-dimensional picture. Remember that it's a 3-dimensional universe, and the question cannot be approached in a 2-D way. Cassiopeia, a constellation in the northern hemisphere, is actually made up of several stars whose distance from here ranges from about 20 light years for one star (which is actually a binary star) to 441 light years for another, to 7800 light years for a third, to 11,650 light years for yet another. A link to the Wikipedia article (where some data for this article was mined) on this constellation is provided.

Nothing but when the star explodes it turns into a blackhole
Yes, Sirius is quite big while Barnard's star is small.
Polaris, or the North Star, is always visible in the Northern Hemisphere. The entire sky rotates around it during the night. The Big and Little Dipper aka Big and Little Bear are visible, as Polaris is a part of the Little Dipper. Draco, Casseopia, and Capheus are also formations normally visible around the North Star. The other constellations vary with the seasons, see the star chart referenced.
Cassiopeia and the Big Dipper appear to rotate counterclockwise around the North Star in the northern hemisphere.
The Polestar is in Ursa Minor, or the Little Dipper. The Big Dipper and Ursa Minor and Cassiopeia are all near the Pole Star.
It's not a terrifically large constellation, but it is easy to recognize as a large, irregular "W". It wheels around the North Star opposite the Big Dipper. When the dipper is up, Cassiopia is down, and vice-versa.

Cassiopeia and Ursa Major (also known as the Big Dipper) are only visible all year long if you live in the northern hemisphere north of about 30 degrees North. For people south of that, it's only visible sometimes, and south of 30 degrees South, it isn't visible at all. Our Australian readers have never seen it, unless they've visited somewhere north of the equator.The reason is that Cassiopeia and Ursa Major are circum-polar at these latitudes; they never set, but they travel in big circles around Polaris, the North Star.
Cassiopeia is a constellation in the northern sky. It is one of the 88 modern constellations and occupies an area of 598 square degrees. It is easily visible in the northern hemisphere during certain times of the year.
Find the North Star, and turn to face it. You're now facing with a degree of True North.If you're not sure where it is, look for the Big Dipper, and the Chair of Cassiopeia (which looks sort of like a giant W in the sky). The north star is between them. Follow the line between the two stars at the lip of the "bowl" of the big dipper, and follow the line for 7 times the distance between the bowl stars, sort of toward Cassiopeia. Most of the stars out there are pretty darned faint, but Polaris, the North Star, is the brightest of the ones in that part of the sky. Polaris is, in fact, the DIMMEST of the 58 "navigational stars" used by celestial navigators.If you're in a dark sky area away from city lights, AND if you have pretty good vision, you might be able to see the "little dipper", with Polaris at the tip of the handle. (Don't bother to look for it if you're in town; you probably won't see it.)

Currently the expanding cloud from the supernova remnant is about 10 light years across.
The constellation you are referring to is Ursa Major, often called the Big Dipper. It is not a formal constellation, but an asterism within Ursa Major. It does indeed resemble a shape similar to a "W" or a "ladle" and is easily recognizable in the northern sky near the pole star, Polaris.
If you live in the USA or Europe, they're most likely Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, the Big and Little Dippers, Cassiopeia, Draco, Cepheus, and maybe Perseus.
