The distance between Voyager 1 and Earth varies due to their orbital paths, but as of October 2021, Voyager 1 is over 14 billion miles away from Earth.
voyager 1 has just finished going around the outer planets: Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune. now it's nearing the edge of our Galaxy. i don't know about voyager 2 sorry!
Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977, and Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977.
Remember, the question is how many miles has the Voyager 1 spacecraft traveled, (Not how far is it from the sun or Earth). Voyager 1 left Earth on 09/05/1977 and today is 06/28/2013. That is approximately 35 3/4th years. In October of 1978, Voyager 1 was traveling at a speed of 34,422 mph, 55397 kph. By March 1979 she had increased her speed to a top speed of 82,935 mph, 133471 kph during her fly by of Jupiter. There are current readings that Voyager 1 is now traveling at a diminishing speed of 37,500 mph, 60,350kph. After all the calculations of the speed differential and speed duration, the average speed is calculated to 37,900 mph. That would mean that the approximate total miles that Voyager 1 has traveled is 11,869,770,400 miles or 19,102,543km. Now the distance from the Sun to Voyager 1 is approximately 122 AUs (Astronomical units). An AU is the distance from the Earth to the sun and that is approximately 92,955,807 miles, 149597870 km which would make the distance from the sun to Voyager 1, 11,340,608,454 miles.
Voyager 1 is on the edge of inter-stellar space, Voyager 2 is a little closer. "As of August 2010, Voyager 1 was at a distance of 17.1 Billion Kilometers (114.3 AU) from the sun and Voyager 2 at a distance of 13.9 Billion kilometers (92.9 AU). Voyager 1 is escaping the solar system at a speed of about 3.6 AU per year, 35 degrees out of the ecliptic plane to the north, in the general direction of the Solar Apex (the direction of the Sun's motion relative to nearby stars). Voyager 2 is also escaping the solar system at a speed of about 3.3 AU per year, 48 degrees out of the ecliptic plane to the south." NASA

Long Distance Voyager was created in 1981.
Voyager 1 is the furthest and Voyager 2 is the second furthest

For me voyager is a ship that travels space... :) :) :) <3 A voyager is a long-distance traveller, particularly by ship
Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977, and Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977.
The voyager space probes that visited the outer planets in the 70's and 80's, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn, while the Voyager 2 probe visited all four gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 1 is the furthest man made object from Earth at around 122AU from Earth as of September 2012. That is 122 times the distance between the Earth and Sun.

Both Voyager 1 and 2 are still well within the Milky Way galaxy - see the related link below which will give you the distance each craft is from the Earth .

Voyager 1Voyager 1 is 8.2 billion kilometers from the Sun. The distance to the Earth varies depending on the time of year so the distance to the Sun is a much more constant measurement. On September 9, 2012, Voyager 1 was 121.836 AU (1.82264×1010 km; 1.13254×1010 mi) from the Earth and traveling at 17.043 km/s (38,120 mph) (relative to the Sun) and traveling outward at about 3.595 AU per year.
Voyager 1 arrived at Saturn in November 1980, followed by Voyager 2 in August 1981.
