Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It’s important to remember that the stars that make up the constellations aren’t a true group-they only appear to be grouped together when viewed from Earth. If we visited other planets and looked at the sky, we would not be able to see the same formations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Notice also that as the stars move through the sky, they stay in the same patterns. That is, the apparent “distance” between any two stars never changes. A given pattern of stars may move across the sky and turn sideways or even upside-down, but it won’t grow larger or smaller, or change its shape in any other way.
