Are you aware of the definition of the word "constellation"?
I presume not, since to ask about the "Density" of a constellation
is utterly meaningless.Whats the density of the constellation cancer?This is a meaningless question. Any constellation is merely human invention of a picture created by a random assortment of stars.Whats the density of the constellation cancer?About 1 star per 6.6 sq. deg.Whats the density of the constellation cancer?[2/253; 3/168.6; t46/11.0]
In 'Cancer' (506 sq.d.) there are 2 stars in the range of magnitude 3 to 4, each having 253 square degrees; 3 in the range 4 to 5 having 168.6 sq.d. each and 46 in the range 5 to 6, each with 11 sq.d.
In total there are 51 visible to naked eye (till magn.6) stars, each with 9.92 sq.d.
[7/54.3; 16/23.75; 59/6.1] is the comparative figure for 'Canis Major'; not including 5 stars far brighter (with'Sirius') in magn.0, 1, 2. With these 5 too it makes a total of 87 stars in 380 sq.d. or a density of 4.37 each.
