A constellation is a patch of sky. Asking how far away it is is meaningless. You could ask how far away individual stars are, but there are a lot of stars in Cygnus at many vastly different distances.
Deneb, the brightest star in Cygnus, is a bit of a quandary; it's variable, making its distance difficult to measure. The generally accepted value is about 2600 light years, but the Hipparchos satellite measurement is about half that, at around 1500 light years.

∙ 10y agoAny constellation is a group of stars that appear to form some kind of pattern,
but have no connection with each other. They all happen to be in roughly the
same direction from us, but they're all at different distances. So there's no
such thing as a constellation's distance from us.

∙ 12y agoA constellation is basically a direction in space. A certain group of stars forms a figure, but anything in the same general direction is said to be "in such-and-such a constellation". Therefore, it doesn't make sense to talk about the distance to a constellation - it starts right wherever you are, and goes all the way across the Universe.

How many light years away from Earth is Pegasus constellation?
The question doesn't make sense, just as it doesn't make sense how far "up" is. "Up" starts right here. Similarly, a constellation is (roughly speaking) a direction in space, so it starts right here, and goes all the way to infinity (or however far the Universe goes on, which is at least 46 billion light-years).

What is the distance from earth and the constellation perseus?
You can't really say how far a constellation is. A constellation is just a group of stars, and even though the stars in a constellation look close together in the sky, in reality they might be very far from each other. Some of the stars could be relatively close to us, and some much farther away. Really, the only question you can answer is how far from earth is each individual star in Perseus is.
