Need constellation information? HELP! (stars)?

i am doing a constellation report and i can't find info. here are the questions 1.what are stars 2. did people in ancient times know about stars.3. what are constellations.5. what are the different types of constellations.6.do people use constellations please help thx =)Need constellation information? HELP! (stars)?1. Stars are suns.
2. They saw the stars, as anyone who looks up with their eyes. They did not know the nature of stars (that they were suns).
3. Groupings of unrelated stars in the same area of sky that form easy-to-remember patterns first envisioned by ancient stargazers. There are 88 official constellations today with borders drawn out by the International Astronomical Union.
4. You didn't ask.
5. There are big constellations and small constellations. Constellations with many bright stars and constellations with no bright stars.
6. People "use" constellations to navigate the night sky. And if we say that a particular star, galaxy, or nebula is "in" a particular constellation, it gives us an idea of where in the sky something is and when it is above the horizon.

Go to Wikipedia.org for more info.

Added: Well if you aren't allowed to use Wikipedia, then try using Google. You need to research the details yourself. Also, are you saying that questions 3 and 4 are the same question?

BTW, if your teacher didn't allow you to use Wikipedia, I strongly suspect your teacher didn't want you to go on Yahoo! Answers either.
