What constellation Orion used to locate the direction?

Orion, one of the most recognizable constellations, can be used to locate the direction of south in the Northern Hemisphere. The three stars that form Orion's Belt—Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka—can be extended downward to find the bright star Sirius in the constellation Canis Major, which indicates south. Alternatively, extending the belt upwards leads to the constellation Taurus. In the Southern Hemisphere, Orion can help locate the Southern Cross by using the same method.
