Light from an object a trillion miles away (10 to the power of 12) will take around 0.17 years to get to the observer or 62 days.
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.
The nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.24 light-years away. One light-year is approximately 5.88 trillion miles, so Proxima Centauri is about 25 trillion miles away from Earth.
Pollux is approximately 33.78 light-years away from Earth, which is equivalent to about 198 trillion miles.
The next nearest star after the sun is Proxima Centauri. This star is about 4.2 light years or 25 trillion miles away.
The stars are much farther away from Earth than the Moon. The average distance to the Moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers), while the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is approximately 4.24 light-years away, which translates to about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion kilometers). Thus, stars are vastly more distant than our Moon.
The farthest object seen my mankind is a gama ray burster approximately 13 billion (thousand million) light-years away. Previously the next farthest object was 12.8 billion light years away. A light year is approximately 24 trillion miles. (12 zeros) or 36 trillion km. The object seen was about 312,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles away. More interestingly, it happened when the universe was only on to two Billion years old.
40 trillion km equates to 24,854,800,000,000 miles.
A distance of 40 light years is approximately 377 trillion kilometers or 235 trillion miles away.
Go up in a balloon and look down, or up a mountain and look across. Even a tall building will do.Or of course, you could look at an object a quarter of a million miles away (the moon), 90+ million miles (the sun - DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY!), or several trillion miles to brighter stars.
Sirius is about 8.6 light years away which works out to about 50,600,000,000,000 (50.6 trillion) miles away.
1 trillion miles away.
Ten trillion miles is approximately 1.6 trillion kilometers, which is far beyond our solar system. This distance reaches into the realm of interstellar space, where the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, is about 4.37 light-years away, equivalent to roughly 25 trillion miles. Therefore, at 10 trillion miles, you would be well into the Milky Way galaxy, possibly nearing distant star clusters or even the edge of the galaxy itself.
Six million trillion miles thatta wayz.

Unimaginably far. About 1,054,800 trillion miles! To put it in perspective, if you could somehow travel at the speed of light, it would still take you more than 180,000 years to reach an object that far away.
