Light from an object a trillion miles away (10 to the power of 12) will take around 0.17 years to get to the observer or 62 days.
9 trillion miles away
Alpha Centauri B is about 4.37 light years away from our sun. One light year is about 5,878,625,373,183.61 (almost 6 trillion) miles away. So that means that Alpha Centauri B is about 25,689,592,880,812.38 (about 26 trillion) miles from our sun. If you look at it in kilometers one light year equals 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (about 10 trillion km). So that means that Alpha Centauri B is about 41,343,392,165,178.1 (about 41.5 trillion) kilometers away or about 41 petameters.
The next nearest star after the sun is Proxima Centauri. This star is about 4.2 light years or 25 trillion miles away.
Every star is a different distance. The distances are SO GREAT that we don't even measure them in miles - we measure them in light years, the distance light travels in a period of 365 days (almost six trillion miles)!! It's CRAZY !! The nearest star that we know of other than the Sun is about 4 light-years away.
14,813,819,500,000,000,000 (14 quintillion, eight hundred thirteen quadrillion, eight hundred nineteen trillion and five hundred billion)
The farthest object seen my mankind is a gama ray burster approximately 13 billion (thousand million) light-years away. Previously the next farthest object was 12.8 billion light years away. A light year is approximately 24 trillion miles. (12 zeros) or 36 trillion km. The object seen was about 312,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles away. More interestingly, it happened when the universe was only on to two Billion years old.
40 trillion km equates to 24,854,800,000,000 miles.
9 trillion miles away
Go up in a balloon and look down, or up a mountain and look across. Even a tall building will do.Or of course, you could look at an object a quarter of a million miles away (the moon), 90+ million miles (the sun - DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY!), or several trillion miles to brighter stars.
1 trillion miles away.
Sirius is about 8.6 light years away which works out to about 50,600,000,000,000 (50.6 trillion) miles away.
Six million trillion miles thatta wayz.

180,000 light years is a unit of measurement used to describe distance in space. It is the distance that light travels in vacuum in one year, which is approximately 5.88 trillion miles or 9.46 trillion kilometers.
The next nearest star after the sun is Proxima Centauri. This star is about 4.2 light years or 25 trillion miles away.
The closest star is about four and a half light-years from the planet Uranus or from any other part of our solar system; a light-year is about seven trillion miles, so the nearest star is about thirty one and a half trillion miles away. Bear in mind that most stars are considerably farther away than that.
Alpha Centari is the nearest star to Sol. It is about 4 light years or 24 trillion miles away.
