How many years are stars dead before their light stops?
When most stars die they form objects calle white dwarves. These will continue to emit light for trillions of years before cooling into black dwarves. This is older than the current age of the universe.
How far apart are galaxy's?
Millions of light-years apart.
How many light years between Alkaid and Merak stars of the big dipper?

How are the Distances between different objects in space measured?

What is the distances away to objects within your galaxy?
Anywhere between zero and about 70,000 light-years. Our galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years, we are about 30,000 light-years from the center, so the most distance object is about 70,000 light-years away.
How are celestial objects measured in the terms of their size?
Usually in kilometers. Larger objects, such as galaxies, may be measured in light-years, or in parsec.
The Milky Way is 100000 light years wide If there are 2500 planets in the MW how far apart are they roughly if evenly spaced?
If all planets are evenly spaced and there are 2,500 planets, they would be about 40 light years apart in the Milky Way.
The most distant objects seen in the universe are how far from us?
13 billion light years (rounded)
Are all of the stars in a constellation close together?

Science says the universe is 12 to 14 billion years old because light from that far away has reached us but couldn't there be objects billions of light years further away?
Yes, current theory and observations suggest that the age of the universe is between 13.6 and 13.8 billion years (earth years).However please note that a light year is the distance a beam of light will travel in one earth year.
