All observed quasars have redshifts between 0.06 and 6.5.
Using Hubble's law, it can be shown that they are between 780 million and 28 billion light years away (in terms of comoving distance).

How far are quasars away from us?
Quasars can be very, very, very far away. And they are extremely bright. We've seen quasars that are 12 billion light years away from Earth (a light year is how far light travels in one year, and light travels at about 128 billion kilometers a second). Most quasars are actually big, bright galaxies shining from millions, or even billions of light years away from here.
How do you know that quasars are not just nearby stars?
The light from quasars - all quasars - is shifted far to the red side of the spectrum. This means that they are moving away from us, at a very high rate of speed. They cannot be "nearby", for that, and a lot of other sound, scientific reasons.
What are quasars and where are they found in the universe?
All quasars are located at a great distance from us. Of the quasars discovered, they range from between 780 million and 28 billion light years away. Because of these distances and the velocity of light, we are seeing them early on in the creation of the Universe. They are very rare they have only found about 20 or so.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of the redshift theory?
cons quasars have have large red shift that suggest they are far away as distant galexies some quazars with very high redshifts appear to be interacting with other galexies that have lesser redshift which would suggest that quazars have ann in trensic redshift pros its perfect evidence to show that the universe is expanding
What does a Quasar look like?
Quasars are too far away for a real photo, [but the related link] has an artists impression of what a quasar should look like.
Why are quasars only found in very distant parts of the universe?
The evidence for the extreme distance is the extreme redshift. Also, in many cases, a coincidence has been found between a quasar and a galaxy.The evidence for the extreme distance is the extreme redshift.

How far away was Jupiter?
Very very very far away. Hence the fact planets are measured in millions of miles.
Are stars far away?
Yes. Very, very, very far away. The Sun is about 90 million miles away. Other stars are millions of millions of miles away.
What is a neutron star that sends out radio waves?
That would be called a "pulsar". See related question

Is the sun very far from the sun?
The sun is very far away from the sun. In fact, the sun is 19,000,000 miles away from the earth.
