Pretend you're standing on the ground looking at Orion's belt and the nearby star Sirius. I need to know the distance between Sirius and the first star on Orion's belt in centimeters as if you were holding a ruler up to the sky. Now, if one was to take a picture of the sky and draw a north-south line through the first star on Orion's belt, then how many degrees from North would the star Sirius be? Also, if possible, would you be able to tell me if the position of Sirius to the constellation Orion (as seen from the ground)would have been any different say, ten thousand years ago? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You...
