1.5 million light-years is equivalent to the distance that light travels in 1.5 million years.
About 2.5 million light-years.Approximately 2.5 million light years away
Light from the Andromeda galaxy takes approximately 2.5 million years to reach Earth. This distance is about 2.537 million light-years.
Since the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.4 million light years away, when we observe it, we are seeing it as it was 2.4 million years ago. This is because the light we see from the galaxy today has taken approximately 2.4 million years to travel from the galaxy to Earth.
The Andromeda galaxy is about 2.4 million light years away, meaning that light from it takes 2.4 million light years to reach us, so the light we see from it now was emitted 2.4 million years ago.
21 million light years is an immense distance in space, equivalent to the distance light travels in 21 million years. To provide a sense of scale, the Milky Way galaxy is estimated to be about 100,000 light years in diameter, showing just how vast 21 million light years really is.
1.5 million light-years is equivalent to the distance that light travels in 1.5 million years.
Yes, because light years is a specific distance. One light year is the distance light travels in the vacuum of space in one year. This distance is about 5.86 trillion miles. Therefore, 114 million light years is calculated by multiplying 5.86 trillion by 114 million. This results in an enormous distance, expressed as:6.70148979 × 1020 miles
Years are a measurement of time; light years are a measurement of distance. A light year is the distance light travels in one year (in a vacuum).

8 million years. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year.
The light from the star would have left 2.5 million years ago, as it takes light 1 year to travel a distance of 1 light year.
Approximately 13 million light years.

150 million kilometers. If you mean "other than the Sun", that would be Proxima Centauri, at a distance of about 4.2 light-years.150 million kilometers. If you mean "other than the Sun", that would be Proxima Centauri, at a distance of about 4.2 light-years.150 million kilometers. If you mean "other than the Sun", that would be Proxima Centauri, at a distance of about 4.2 light-years.150 million kilometers. If you mean "other than the Sun", that would be Proxima Centauri, at a distance of about 4.2 light-years.
No, 150 million years is an amount of time. A light-year is a distance. A light-year is the distance light travels in one Earth year. One light-year is about 6 trillion miles (9 trillion km).
The Coma cluster is one of the nearest clusters but it is not the nearest. At a mean distance of about 321 million light years the Virgo Cluster is closer at a mean distance of only 59 million light years.
