A light year is approximately seven trillion miles. The planet Earth is 93,000,000 miles from the sun, which in terms of light years is about 13 millionths of a light year. Even the most distant planet in the solar system is less than a thousandth of a light year away from the sun. Distances inside the solar system are not usually measured in light years. Light years are more useful in measuring the distances to other stars.

How far is Betelgeuse from the sun?
Betelgeuse is about 640 light-years from the sun.
How far is Antares from the sun?
Antares is approximately 600 light years from the Sun
How far is the clouds?
About three light years from the sun.
What planet is brighter the moon or the sun?
Neither the sun nor the moon are planets. The sun is brighter than the moon by far. The sun emits its own light. The moon only reflects light from the sun.
What planets produce their own light?
No, planets don't give off light, stars did.
How far is Betelgeuse from the sun?

How far is Barnard's star to the sun in light years?
Barnard's star is about 6 light years away from the sun.
How far is Antares from the sun?
Antares is approximately 600 light years from the Sun
Does the other planets go around the sun?
Our nine planets orbit around the Sun. Other planets that are light-years away orbit around their suns (A sun is just a large star with planets). Hope this helped!

How far is our sun from the center of the galaxy in light years?
The Galactic centre is about 27,000 light years from us.
How far away is the stars from the sun?
The stars are upwards of 4.2 light-years from the Sun.
Do the planets can be seen by reflected light by the sun and other stars?
The planets reflect sunlight, but the stars are too far away to have any significant effect.
Does light pollution effect how you see planets?
In short, yes, but it really depends on how far the planets are from Earth. Planets such as Venus and Jupiter can be seen literally as soon as the sun has set, so nearby planets will be visible in light-polluted cities.
