Can anyone give me a graph of the distances of space objects in light-years?

Answer 1

If I give you the distances you will have to make the graph...

Mercury to Sun - - 36 Million Miles
Venus to Sun - - 67.2 Million Miles
Earth to Sun - - 93 Million Miles
Earth to Moon - - 238,900 Miles
Mars to Sun - - 141.6 Million Miles
Jupiter to Sun - - 483.7 Million Miles
Saturn to Sun - - 886.15 Million Miles
Uranus to Sun - - 1.78 Billion Miles
Neptune to Sun - - 2.8 Billion Miles
Pluto to Sun - - 3.7 Billion Miles
Alpha Centauri - - 4.4 Light Years (Nearest Star)

Here the data gets a little complex, because other than moons, the rest of the Milky Way Galaxy is stars, and there are an estimated 100,000 million stars. So any graph you made of just a small sample of those stars would be huge indeed. It is safe to say that the closest star (other than the Sun) is 4.4 Light Years distant from the Sun. Others range from 6 - 8 Light years all the way to 50,000 Light Years away from the Sun.

Alpha Centauri - - 4.37 Light Years
Barnard's Star - - 6.0 Light Years
Wolf 359 - - 7.8 Light Years
Lalande 21185 - - 8.2 Light Years
Luyten 726-8 - - 8.5 Light years
Sirius - - 8.6 Light Years
Ross 154 - - 9.6 Light Years
Ross 248 - - 10.3 Light Years
Luyten 789-6 - - 11.1 Light Years
Groombridge 34 - - 11.2 Light Years
Epsilon Indi - - 11.3 Light Years
61 Cigni - - 11.3 Light Years
Sigma 2398 - - 11.4 Light Years
Tau Ceti - - 11.4 Light Years
Procyon - - 11.4 Light Years
Lacaille 9352 - - 1.5 Light Years
G51-15 - - 11.8 Light Years

and this is the list of the 20 nearest stars

Good Luck

One Light Year is 60x60x24x365x186,000 Miles

or

5,865,696,000,000 Miles

Answer 2

Light years is hard to figure out...it involves a lot of mathematics and stuff so you should just give up on trying to figure this word problem out! It's too hard! Let's try another math question!!

Answer 3

By space objects, do you mean planets, satellites, stars and other galaxies? If so, that would be millions of records and I don't think there is enough room in Yahoo Answers for all of them.

Answer 4

its hard to figure out because it involves a lot of mathematics, but im sure you can find it on google.com.

Answer 5

Sorry.
