These are the three brightest stars in Leo and the only ones with a magnitude less than 3.What is the distance to the constellation of Leo?There isn麓t an answer to your question because every star you see, even those within a certain constellation, are all at different distances from earth. I only have the distance of one star in Leo, Regulus. It is 77.5 lightyears from earth. Regulus is also known as alpha Leonis A with the alpha meaning it is the brightest star in Leo. The A means it has a companion but this is not a star. It is a white dwarf or a stellar corpse.

The other stars in Leo are thus named beta leonis (or Deneb) gamma leonis, delta leonis etc. You might be able to search these names, find out the distance for each one and make an average distance from that. That distance would be the center of the three dimensional structure Leo would make up.What is the distance to the constellation of Leo?All the stars in the constellation of Leo are all at different distances from the Earth. This is true of any constellation. Here are some of the better know stars of Leo and their distances...
