How far up are the stars from the ground?
Their distance varies considerably but even the closest are unimaginably far away. The closest star to us apart from the sun is Proxima Centauri at 4.2 light years away. while Deneb, one of the farthest visible to the unaided eye, is about 2,600 light years away. Many stars are much farther away, too far to bee seen without a telescope. A light year is the distance that light travels in a year, about 6 trillion miles. To get a better idea of how huge this is, light travels at about 186,300 miles per second. At this speed it would travel around the world in about an eight of a second, and yet it takes years, even centuries, to reach us from the stars we see at night.
Are stars much farther from earth than the planets?
Yes, stars are extremely far away compared to the planets. The next closest star to our sun is 285,000 AU away. Neptune, the furthest planet from the sun, is 15 AU away. So the closest star to our sun is nearly 20,000 times as far as the most distant planet in our solar system. The rest of the stars in our galaxy range from 6 light years to about 80,000 light years in distance from us.
What is Bernard's star?
Barnard's Star is the fourth closest known star to us. It is a small red dwarf about 6 light years away.
How far is alpha centari b in miles?
Alpha Centauri B is about 4.37 light years away from our sun. One light year is about 5,878,625,373,183.61 (almost 6 trillion) miles away. So that means that Alpha Centauri B is about 25,689,592,880,812.38 (about 26 trillion) miles from our sun. If you look at it in kilometers one light year equals 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (about 10 trillion km). So that means that Alpha Centauri B is about 41,343,392,165,178.1 (about 41.5 trillion) kilometers away or about 41 petameters.
What planet is 93 million miles away from the sun?
The planet Mars is approximately 13 light minutes 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 away is barnards star?
Barnard's Star is approximately 6 light years away.
How far is the Earth from Benard's Star?
Barnard's Star is about 6 light years away.
How long would a message take if you are 6 light-years away from earth in minutes?
Light-year is the distance that light travels in a year. Therefore, it will take light 6 years to travel 6 light-years. So far, it has not been possible to send messages faster than the speed of light, and it will probably never be possible (read about the Theory of Relativity to get an idea about the reasons for this).
How far away is satern?
6 planets and the lengh of a year is 29 years of earth

The man is 9 feet away from the street light.
How far does light travel in 6 years?
In vacuum it will travel approx 57 trillion kilometres.

How long would a messege take if you are 6 light-years away?
If the message is sent by radio, then it takes 6 years to reach you.If by USPS, then somewhat longer.
