How far is the North Star from the Sun?

Answer 1

There's no precise answer to the question of "Where does space start?"

But you might consider it to be the distance far enough off the surface of the earth where artificial satellites can survive in orbit ... meaning the altitude where the atmosphere has thinned out sufficiently so that atmospheric drag is essentially negligible. This places us in the neighborhood of the orbital altitude of the International Space Station, which is a significant milestone; so in order to be able to offer a figure for negotiation, let's say ...

Space begins at roughly 220 kilometers (140 miles) from the earth's surface.

Answer 2

The North Star, also called Polaris or α Ursae Minoris, is about 430 lightyears from Earth. In a car going 100 miles per hour that never stops, it would take you about 3 thousand million years to travel that distance. This is about 4.0680272 * 1015 km or 2.5277549 * 1015 miles.

Answer 3

Every star is a different distance from earth.

The nearest star is the sun, about 93,000,000 miles away. (rounded)

The next nearest star is Proxima Centauri, about 25,866,000,000,000 miles away. (rounded)

Astronomers have photographed the light of stars as far from earth as

80,538,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles. (rounded)

Answer 4

The star Arcturus is 37 lightyears away from Earth. A lightyear (the distance light travels in one Earth year) is 9 454 254 955 488 km so the distance in km is:

349 807 433 353 056 km

Answer 5

The North star, Polaris is 430 light-years away.

Answer 6

The nearest star to earth would be our sun. The sun is 149,597,892 kilometers away from earth. hope I helped :)

Answer 7

The North Star, Polaris is about 430 light years from Earth, which works out to about 4 quadrillion miles.
