There's no precise answer to the question of "Where does space start?"
But you might consider it to be the distance far enough off the surface of the earth where artificial satellites can survive in orbit ... meaning the altitude where the atmosphere has thinned out sufficiently so that atmospheric drag is essentially negligible. This places us in the neighborhood of the orbital altitude of the International Space Station, which is a significant milestone; so in order to be able to offer a figure for negotiation, let's say ...
Space begins at roughly 220 kilometers (140 miles) from the earth's surface.
The North Star, also known as Polaris, is approximately 433 light-years away from the Sun. It is located in the constellation Ursa Minor and serves as a helpful navigational aid for finding the direction of North.
The North Star, also called Polaris or α Ursae Minoris, is about 430 lightyears from Earth. In a car going 100 miles per hour that never stops, it would take you about 3 thousand million years to travel that distance. This is about 4.0680272 * 1015 km or 2.5277549 * 1015 miles.
Every star is a different distance from earth.
The nearest star is the sun, about 93,000,000 miles away. (rounded)
The next nearest star is Proxima Centauri, about 25,866,000,000,000 miles away. (rounded)
Astronomers have photographed the light of stars as far from earth as
80,538,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles. (rounded)
The star Arcturus is 37 lightyears away from Earth. A lightyear (the distance light travels in one Earth year) is 9 454 254 955 488 km so the distance in km is:
349 807 433 353 056 km
The nearest star to earth would be our sun. The sun is 149,597,892 kilometers away from earth. hope I helped :)

Which is farther away from the earth the sun or north star?
the north star. it takes 8 minutes for light to get from the sun to the earth. it takes half a billion years for light to get to us from the north star...i think. but i know that the sun is definetly closer.
Is the sun biggest Star or planet?
No. To start off, the sun is a star, not a planet and is far larger than any planet. The sun is larger than the average star, but it is nowhere near being the largest.
What planet is the north star?
The North Star, also known as Polaris, is not a planet but rather a star. It can be found in the constellation Ursa Minor and serves as a consistent point of reference for navigation due to its proximity to the north celestial pole.
What is a rhyming word pair for distant sun?
Persistent fun.
Rhyming word pair for distant sun?
Glistening run
How long does it take for the north star orbit around the sun?
The North Star does not orbit the sun, nor do any of the stars. The North Star is its own star system several times more massive than the sun.
How far is the main sequence star from sun?
Do You Know That The Sun Is How Far From Main Sequence Or Called White Dwarfs .. The Sun Is Our Star And It's Size Is Medium-Sized The Far As 8,400 Solar Radii In Sun ,,

Is Mercury the north star?
No. Mercury is one of the planets that orbit the sun. The North Star is Polaris.
Which star is near Jupiter?
The Sun is by far the nearest star to Jupiter.
How far is Barnard's star to the sun in light years?
Barnard's star is about 6 light years away from the sun.
What its a star?
a star is a big ball of hot gas just like our sun. infact a star is a far off sun somewhere in our universe.
How far is it from the sun to the next nearest star?

What would happen if a star crashed into a planet?
That's not possible a star is a sun, planets revolve around a star, and the planet would be destroyed far far far far far before the star reached it, if that was even possible
Is it true that the sun is classified as a supergiant star?
No. The sun is a main sequence star far smaller than any supergiant.
What makes a star turn into a sun?
They are the same thing. A sun is right here, while a star is VERY far away. But if we could build - WHEN we CAN build! - interstellar spacecraft, we will take off from the Earth, and we'll see our Sun nearby. When we get there, we will find a new sun in the sky - and our Sun will be a tiny star, far away!
