The big dipper is not real, it is a pattern of stars seen from our vantage point.
i cant say because the little dipper is made op of many differt stars and alls 7 stars r different light years away. 4 example, the star kochab is 126 light years away and the star pherkad is 480 light years away.
The Andromeda Galaxy is approximately 220,000 light-years in diameter, which is equivalent to about 1,294,833,160,000,000 miles.
It is estimated that the Milky Way is about 100,000 light years wide. In other words, it takes light about 100,000 earth years to travel from one edge right across to the far edge.
The bowl of the Big Dipper is made up of four stars.
~1170 light years.

They are about 25.6 light years apart in the earths sky.
100,000 ly across but only about 1000 ly thick.
Not all constellations are close to the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper is part of the Ursa Major constellation and many other constellations are spread across the night sky at various distances from the Big Dipper.
Around 90 light years away. There is no exact answer because the stars that make up the big dipper are different distances from the sun. Name and distance of the stars that make up the Big Dipper. Mizar 78 light years Merak 79 light years Megrez 81 light years Alioth 81 light years Phecda 84 light years Alkaid 101 light years Dubhe 124 light years
It's a dwarf galaxy; the diameter is about 6500 light-years (according to information in the Wikipedia article).
The Little Dipper is a constellation, a patterns of stars in the night sky that people pick out. It is not possible to give a distance of a constellation from Earth because it consists of many stars at very different distances from the earth. For example, Polaris, the brightest star in that constellation, is about 433 light years from Earth. But the second brightest star, Beta Ursae Minoris (also called Kochab) is about 131 light years from earth. The third brightest star is 487 light years away
The Big Dipper stars and the north star are light years away from each other. it just LOOKS like they are near each other. In several hundred centuries, the Big Dipper won't even look the same because the stars in it are expanding away from each other at different relative rates.
The Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years (30 kiloparsecs, 9x1017 km) in diameter, and is considered to be, on average, about 1,000 ly (0.3 kpc) thick .
"How many light years does Dschubba have?" "How many light years does Dschubba have?"
The Milky Way is estimated to be about 2,000 light years thick, but about 100,000 light years long/far... Which i guess you can tell, thats a lot.
