870 light years peeps
this question does not make sense. the earth is in space.......
5150km
4.2 light years away
using a rocket
About 100 miles
Approximately 700 light-years.
Alnitak is approximately 817 light years away from Earth.
Alnitak is a multiple star: Alnitak Aa has a radius which is 20 time the sun's radius.
Alnitak and Mintaka are two stars in the Orion constellation. The distance between them can vary depending on their positions in the sky and their distance from Earth. Generally, these stars are estimated to be around 800-900 light-years away from us, based on astronomical observations and calculations using methods such as parallax measurements and spectroscopic analysis.
it is an apparent magnitude of 1.74
Alnitak is a very interesting star, because it is not one, but three stars. The main star, Alnitak Aa, with a luminosity 100000 times that of the Sun is orbited at 11 Astronomical Units (roughly the distance at which Saturn orbits the Sun) by Alnitak Ab, with a luminosity of 20000 times that of the Sun. This binary star system is orbited at 680 AUs (roughly the distance of the inner Ort Cloud from the Sun) by Alnitak B, whose luminosity is roughly 10000 times that of the Sun.
Alnitak is a very interesting star, because it is not one, but three stars. The main star, Alnitak Aa, is a type 09.5 blue supergiant that is orbited at 11 Astronomical Units (roughly the distance at which Saturn orbits the Sun) by a type O blue dwarf that astronomers call Alnitak Ab. This binary star system is orbited at 680 AUs (roughly the distance of the inner Ort Cloud from the Sun) by the bluish-white type B0 Alnitak B.
It all depends on where you view them from. The apparent magnitude, is defined as being viewed from Earth Betelgeuse: 0.58 - Brighter Zeta Orionis (Alnitak) = 1.70 The absolute magnitude, is defined as being viewed from a distance of 10 parsecs. Betelgeuse: -5.14 Zeta Orionis: -5.25 - Brighter

how far is it
"Distance" means how far two object are from one another. In this case, how far the Moon is from Earth, or how far the Sun is from Earth.
Alnitak's name comes from the Arabic phrase al-Nithāq, which means "the girdle" as it is part of the three stars that form Orion's Belt. It is also sometimes referred to as Zeta Orionis in the Bayer designation system.
