∙ 15y agoConstellations are an arbitrary work of imagination. Each culture develops its own myths and its own versions of what pictures the stars form. Since we don't see our own sun at night, it's not in any constellation. But somewhere out there a civilization on another planet may include our sun in their mythos. We'll have to wait until we meet someoneone from another galaxy.

∙ 9y agoIt is not in any solar system. The constellations are the groups of stars that we see in parts of the sky. We are not in any of those. On some very distant planet, way beyond our solar system, different patterns of stars would be seen in the sky, and amongst one of those would be our sun. So you would have to be in some other part of the galaxy to see our sun, and so the rest of the solar system including Earth, as part of a constellation. From different parts of the galaxy, different patterns would be seen, so although they may see the same stars we see, they would be in completely different patterns.
The sun is currently located in the constellation of Pisces.

-- Neptune is another planet in the solar system, just as the Earth is. -- The sun is the star closest to every object in the solar system, including Neptune. -- Neptune averages 30.1 AU distant from the sun ... about 2.8 billion miles. -- The Earth averages roughly 93 million miles distant from the sun.
The closest constellation to Earth is Centaurus, which is approximately 4.39 light-years away. This constellation is located in the southern celestial hemisphere and contains several bright stars, including Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to the Sun.
The relative position (direction, actually) of a constellation and the Sun changes, due to Earth's orbit around the Sun. Thus, at one moment the Sun might be in a certain constellation; half a year later, the Sun will be in a constellation opposite in the sky.
The Crab Nebula is located in the constellation of Taurus. It is about 6,500 light-years away from Earth and is the result of a supernova explosion that was observed in the year 1054.
Regulus is located in the constellation Leo. It is the brightest star in the Leo constellation and is one of the brightest stars in the night sky.
in the constellation Taurus.
Mercury is not in a constellation. It is a planet within our solar system and moves through the zodiac constellations as seen from Earth.
The Earth does not belong to a constellation, but the Sun is located in the Milky Way galaxy in the Orion Arm. The constellations we see from Earth are based on the position of stars as seen from our vantage point.
No. Each star in a constellation is a separate 'sun' all its own.
Polaris is located in the Ursa Minor constellation.
The Arcturus Star is located in the constellation Bootes.
The earth is on the east side of the sun (summer) and when that is so, the constellation Gemini is on the west side of the sun. The sun is blocking the view of the constellation Gemini.

No, the sun is a star at the center of our solar system, not a constellation. Constellations are patterns of stars that form recognizable shapes in the sky.
The brightest star (the star with the greatest apparent magnitude) in the sky, next to the Sun of course, is Sirius, also called Alpha Canis Majoris. In other words, it is located in the Canis Major constellation.
