In terms of physical measurement, the distance between Earth and heaven is not known as heaven is considered a spiritual or metaphysical realm, not a physical location in space. Different belief systems and cultures have their own interpretations of where or what heaven is.
It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth. The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is: Earth's distance at perihelion - moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 146,692,370 km. The maximum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is farthest from the sun and the moon is in full moon phase. The distance from the moon to the sun is Earth's distance at aphelion + moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 150,503,400 km.
The distance from the surface of the Earth to its center is approximately 6,371 kilometers.
The average distance between the sun and Earth is about 93 million miles.
Reported values of the distance of Canopus from our solar system vary. One value that appears in several references is 312 light years. If true, then it takes light from Canopus 312 years to reach earth.
Canopus, one of the brightest stars in the night sky, is approximately 310 light-years away from Earth.
These are the 2 brightest stars in the sky. However Canopus is a lot more luminous because it is much further away. Canopus is about 310 light years away. Sirius is only 8.6 light years away.
Canopus was not "discovered" in the traditional sense, as it has been known since ancient times. It is named after the Greek mythological figure Canopus and has been referenced by various ancient civilizations, including the Greeks, Egyptians, and Arabs. Today, Canopus is the second-brightest star in the night sky and is easily visible from most parts of the Earth.
Canopus in Argos was created in 1979.
The light that we see from Canopus today actually left the star over 310 years ago. Canopus is located approximately 310 light-years away from Earth, so the light we see now started its journey towards us over three centuries ago.
Canopus Corporation was created in 1983-04.
Observed from Earth there are no brighter stars at the night sky. If you see something that is brighter, it will be a planet.
Canopus Hill Observatory was created in 197#.
