Typical distances between nearby stars are in the order of a few light-years; for example, the closest star to Earth (after our Sun) is at a distance of about 4.2 light-years.
Typical distances between nearby galaxies are in the order of a hundred-thousand light-years, to several million light-years. For example, the Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of about 3 million light-years; while that's the closest large galaxy, there are several dwarf galaxies that are closer to us.
