Up is a direction, and not a location, therefore it cannot be given a difference of distance.

Even if you COULD place a measure on this, the answer would be so incredibly large that it would become useless information.
If you were to measure to the farthest thing from earth, by the time you get there (20 billion years at the speed of light), the object would be twice as far as when you started. Some far away stars we see at night, do not even exist any more, because they burn out before their light reaches the earth. Most stars are like that, and new ones are born every day.
So the answer is that up is farther than can ever be measured.

How stupid is the question? was my first thought -- but then I realized you were attempting to be philosophical -- ok. Up is relative to any place that is down. How far is up? Well that depends on your relative point of view. Are you a mouse, or a mountain?

Up is not a distance. You can go as far "up" as you'd like. But I ask you; what is up?

For me it was 5,768 feet above the ground, just under a big cloud on my hang-glider.

Hi. Currently it look like 13.5 or so billion light-years.
