Constellations 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.
It 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.
Jupiter is not in a constellation. Because it moves separately from the stars, it is not always in the same place in the sky in relation to them.
