Voyager 1Voyager 1 is 8.2 billion kilometers from the Sun. The distance to the Earth varies depending on the time of year so the distance to the Sun is a much more constant measurement.

On September 9, 2012, Voyager 1 was 121.836 AU (1.82264×1010 km; 1.13254×1010 mi) from the Earth and traveling at 17.043 km/s (38,120 mph) (relative to the Sun) and traveling outward at about 3.595 AU per year.
