It is not any distance from it. Our solar system is in the Milky Way.
On average, the distance from Earth to the outer edge of the solar system (known as the heliopause) is about 11 billion miles, or roughly 18 billion kilometers. This distance can vary slightly due to the elliptical nature of the orbits of the planets.
Inside our Solar System distances are measured in Astronomical Units (AU) which is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, or about 93 million miles. Jupiter is about 5.5 AU distance from the sun or around 500 million miles. Distances outside our Solar System are usually measured in Light Years.
The sun is a star at the center of our solar system. The eight planets in our solar system, in order of distance from the sun, are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

A "distance" must be specified between two objects. There is no "distance of the Solar System" by itself.

The average distance between stars in the solar system is about 9.5 light-years. This distance can vary greatly depending on the specific stars being considered, as some stars may be closer or farther away.

According to the SI (System International) system, the standard unit for distance is the metre, but it can often be found to be expressed in kilometres as well.
Distance is the length of a path over which an object travels; usually expressed in meters or kilometers in the metric system, and in feet or miles in the English System.
