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.
Orion's Belt is a well-known asterism in the constellation Orion, consisting of three bright stars. The distance to these stars varies; however, they are much farther away from the Sun compared to the nearest stars in the Solar System. The closest star in Orion's Belt is Alnilam, which is approximately 1,340 light-years away from Earth.
