Based on Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, there is no way possible to have a quantum number for position since the electron's second quantum number already gives you an exact value for its angular momentum.
Bohr calculated the most probable radius of the electron cloud (which he mistakenly thought was an actual distance) getting the number 5.29X10-11 m.
What I think the asker is speaking of is the quantum number that refers to energy level, n. Though not a physical distance it may be interpreted, using the Bohr model, how "far" away an electron is from the ground state, which some would believe (incorrectly) that this is a function of distance from the nucleus.
The force between the nucleus and the outermost electron in a large atom is primarily governed by the attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electron. This force is known as the electrostatic force of attraction and is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the nucleus and the electron.
The distance of the electron cloud from the nucleus affects the atom's stability. When the electron cloud is closer to the nucleus, the atom is more stable. This is because the positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons are closer together, creating a stronger attraction. Conversely, if the electron cloud is further from the nucleus, the atom is less stable as the attraction between the nucleus and electrons is weaker.
The ionization potential decreases from lithium to cesium because the atomic size increases, leading to a greater distance between the outermost electron and the nucleus. This increased distance results in weaker attraction between the electron and the nucleus, making it easier to remove the outermost electron and therefore requiring less energy.
In an s orbital, the probability of finding an electron at a particular distance from the nucleus does not depend on the direction in which the distance is measured or the orientation of the orbital. This is because s orbitals are spherically symmetric, meaning the electron has an equal likelihood of being found at any distance from the nucleus in all directions.
Is called a shell. The first shell around the nucleus can hold a maximum of two electrons. While the second shell can hold a maximum of eight electrons.
The principal quantum number (n) represents the main energy level of an electron in an atom. It determines the energy level and distance of the electron from the nucleus.
It would not depend on the direction with respect to the nucleus. The direction of the electron has no effect on the distance of the electron from the nucleus.

Attraction gets smaller.
The Bohr radius, is the estimated distance between protons in the nucleus and electrons - but electrons aren't solid, stationary particles... The simple answer would be about one-twentieth of a nanometre. But this would only be reasonable if the electron were a solid particle.
The approximate distance an electron is located from the nucleus is measured by the concept of electron cloud or electron probability density. This concept is utilized in quantum mechanics to describe the distribution of the electron's probable locations within an atom.
The nucleus has a width on the order of 10^(-15) meters, while an electron is (on average) a distance of 10^(-10) meters from the nucleus. If you were to magnify the nucleus to the size of a baseball, the electrons would be orbiting at a distance of around 1000 meters. That is, there are about 50,000-100,000 nucleus diameters to the electron's average radius.
The ionization potential decreases from lithium to cesium because the atomic size increases, leading to a greater distance between the outermost electron and the nucleus. This increased distance results in weaker attraction between the electron and the nucleus, making it easier to remove the outermost electron and therefore requiring less energy.
The distance between the nucleus an this electron is higher.
