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.
What else can I help you with?
What is a cosmic distance?
A distance in space, between stars etc.
Compare the distance between two stars and the distance between two planets?
The distance between two stars is typically much greater than the distance between two planets. Stars are usually light-years apart, while planets in the same star system are typically within a few astronomical units of each other.
What units are for distance between stars?
The correct unit to describe the distance between stars is the "light year", the distance a photon of light would travel (through a vacuum) in a year.
What is the distance between star?
The distance between stars can be anything from light minutes to billions of light years.
Are the stars measured in light years?
Stars are not measured in light years. The distance between them is.
Which system contains glaxies?
exosphere
How does the distance between planets compare to the distance of stars?
The distance between stars is a couple of order of magnitudes higher than the distance between planets.To put this into perspective, the distance between earth and the sun is 8 light-minutes and the distance between other planets doesn't go further than a few light-hours. On the other hand, the distance between our sun and the nearest star (alpha centauri) is 4.4 light-years. This means that this distance is about 38544 larger than the distance between planets.Beyond that, the distance between stars can be extremely high: a star on the other side of our galaxy will be about 100000 light-years away from us. The distance will keep rising as we move on to different galaxies, then different galaxy clusters, the super clusters and then, finally, the width of the universe.
Average distance between stars in the solar system?
The average distance between stars in the solar system is about 9.5 light-years. This distance can vary greatly depending on the specific stars being considered, as some stars may be closer or farther away.
What do astromoners measure distance in between stars with?
light years
What is the distance between (-3,6),(-3,-2)?
The distance between stars can be anything from light minutes to billions of light years.
Why do you have galaxies?
We have glaxies because our universe exploded.
What unit of distance would you use to measure the distance between two stars?
Light Years.
