How many stars make up the constellation leo?

Pisces? Aquarius? Capricorn? Sagittarius? Ophiuchus? Scorpio? Libra? Virgo? Cancer? Gemini? Taurus? Aries?


Also do you know of a reference I can check out for the exact coordinates of those stars?|||Leo has nine main stars, but many more lesser.





Leo has many bright stars, such as Regulus (伪 Leonis), the lion's heart; Denebola (尾 Leonis); and 纬1 Leonis (Algieba). Many fainter stars have been named as well, such as 未 Leo (Zosma), 胃 Leo (Chort), 魏 Leo (Al Minliar al Asad ), 位 Leo (Alterf), and 慰 Leo (Subra).


Regulus, 畏 Leonis, and 纬 Leonis, together with the fainter stars 味 Leo (Adhafera), 渭 Leo (Ras Elased Borealis), and 蔚 Leo (Ras Elased Australis), make up the asterism known as the Sickle. These stars represent the head and the mane of the lion.


The star Wolf 359, a near star to Earth (7.7 light-years), is in Leo. Gliese 436, a faint star in Leo about 33 light years away from the Sun.


The carbon star CW Leo (IRC +10216) is the brightest star in the night sky at the infrared N-band (10 渭m wavelength).|||It's impossible to say exactly how many stars there are in a particular constellation because the number of stars depends on how faint are the stars you count. The actual number in any constellation numbers in the millions. What you are probably asking is how many stars make up the pattern of the constellation. Even that has no clear answer because different atlases link different stars together: there are no standard constellation patterns. Constellations are actually defined by their boundaries, not the stars they contain.





The best reference I've found to constellations on the internet is Wikipedia. Look up each constellation, and Wikipedia will give you all the basic information in a sidebar on the right side of the screen. There's usually a link to a list of stars in the constellation.|||hmm,although i don't really understand what you're saying,but i'll try to answer.


for all,there are 16 stars in constellation leo,but the brightest is 2 stars,namely denebola located near the face of virgo.the second is regulus,located in leo's foot,right in the ecliptic.leo is easy an fun to be find in april,the constellation is located slightly south toward the highest point.leo can be seen in the spring sky(slightly to south if you look at north),winter in the east(if you look at north),summer in the west(if you look at north).way for measuring coordinates is(i'll tell you,maybe you know it)1 degree almost like your fifth finger,three fingers equal to 3 degrees,and the expanse of the index finger to little finger is 15 degrees(but a bit stretched),fist one hand is 10 degrees.why you asking 'bout leo,you like it?or your zodiac is leo?
