How many light years away is Jupiter?
81010
Jupiter is way too close to be using light years.\n\nOne "Astronomical Unit" is the earth-sun distance and is approximately eight light minutes. Jupiter orbits at about five A.U. from the sun.  So even when Earth and Jupiter are at their most distant I would still expect that distance to be less than one light hour.

Dubhe is 124 light years away from us.\nAlkaid is 100\nPhecda is 84\nAlioth is 81\nMegrez is 81\nMerak is 79\nMizar is 78\nDivide by 3.26 to get parsecs.

Pluto is 6 Billion kilometers away from the sun.  Light takes about 5.5 hours to reach Pluto.  Which means Pluto is only 6 light HOURS away from the sun.

Not counting the sun, the closest star to earth is Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.1 light years away from the earth. Light travels at 300 000 km/s so you can now use this to calculate the distant. 4.1 light years x 365 days per one light year x 12 months per 1 year x 30 days per one month, x 24 hours per one day x 60 minutes per one hour x 60 seconds per one minute = 4,654,713,600 seconds. Multiply this figure by 300 000 km/s and you get an answer of 1,396,414,080,000,000 Kilometers.

Jupiter is in the Scorpio constellation until Nov. 24, 2006.  You can see Jupiter just after sunset and will the brightest star in the sky.

Maybe not right now, but it should be visible in the northern sky with binoculars over the next few weeks. It's in the constellation Corona Borealis, which puts it north of Jupiter. Jupiter is rising in the sky just before 10pm at the moment. \n\nIt's moving towards the Northern Triangle - close to Vega in Cygnus around May 7/8 and then below Deneb around May 12, and that, apparently, is it's closest pass to Earth. It may brighten to mag 5 or even mag 4 at this time, so you might even be able to see it without binoculars! Fingers crossed!\n\nIf you want to look, try to find a fuzzy indistinct object in your binoculars. That's the best giveway. Sometimes comets don't show a tail. \n\nThe following web-link is very useful I think. I will be out looking during the next few nights myself.

It is 238,857 miles away. Light travels at 186,000 miles a second. So roughly a second and a quarter

Jupiter is a wonderful planet to observe. Right now it is in the constellation of Libra.\n\nAssuming you are near Miami Jupiter rises about 2 in the morning. You can see it low and rising in the Southeast until about 6 when the sky starts to get bright.\n\nCheck the interactive chart below. Jupiter is an olive-drab circle with a curly 4 shape on it. Just set the time to London Time, so 6 in the morning Florida time would be 11:00:00 London Time.\n\nEnjoy!

As large as you can imagine, and possibly larger than that! It depends what you want to call The Universe- is it as long as the distance to the farthest object known to us? Or are there other objects beyond that? If you measure to the farthest visible object, the universe is approximately 12-15 billion light-years away, in all directions.

Pluto is the farthest planet from the sun. Its average distance from the sun is 3,670,050,000 miles (5,906,380,000 kilometers).

More than that- There are objects, such as M31 galaxy and supernova, that are millions of light years away that are visible. Take a Andromeda at 2-2.5 million light years. Light goes 186,000 miles in a second..X 60 (minute) X 24 (hour) X 365 (day) = about 98 billion miles in one light year (lets just call it 100 billion).  You can see something 2.5 million light years away, so- you can see things in the night sky that are 100 billion X 2.5 million, or about 250 *quadrillion* miles away.\n\nSo, to answer your question- with the naked eye, you can see things at least 250 quadrillion miles away.  Thats 250 million billion miles.\n\nWow...thanks for asking that question-that was fun and interesting\n\n*edit* by the way, Ronin is wrong-the M31 galaxy (Andromeda) that can be seen with the naked eye is only 2 million light years away- as stated, only supernova are bright enough to see past that

light years isn't a time, it is a distance \nso it would be 2 light years

In outer space...       ... about 6 inches away from Uranus

Alpha Centauri is the closest star system beyond our own solar system  4.39 light years away.  It is composed of 3 small stars: two of which, A. Centauri A, and A. Centauri B are similar to Earth.   Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf star in that system is the closest @ ~ 4.26 light years.\n\nThere are (probably) no planets in that system.  It is highly unlikely that there is any intelligent life close to Earth (ie < 100 light years) but no one really knows.  Some say there is no intelligent life on Earth.
