Question

How does constellation differ from a star

Answer 1

A constellation is a group of stars that make an imaginary shape in the night sky. They are usually named after mythological characters, people, animals and objects. In different parts of the world, people have made up different shapes out of the same groups of bright stars

Answer 2

$<b>Stars are singular heaven objects, actual heavenly bodies. Constellation, on the other hand, don't exist in nature -they are just patterns that human came up with to link some group of stars together, based on how they look in the night sky. Constellation and stars have just one similarly -their apparent and approximate location in the night sky. But in reality, there's just stars.$
