 How
high up is a star?
Our nearest star, the Sun, is 93,000,000 (93 million) miles
from Earth. That is a really long way, but all the other
stars are much much much much MUCH farther away. I can't
give just one distance (well, OK, yes I can, but you have to
read more first), as every star is at a different distance,
just like you can't say how far away a tree is -- some are
near and some are far. But you could say some of the stars
you can see at night are around 100,000,000,000,000 (100
trillion) miles. While some stars are a little closer than
that, most are farther away, but because the much more
distant stars are too far for us to see without telescopes,
I think 100 trillion miles is a good answer. That is about
1,000,000 (1 million) times farther away than the Sun -- no
wonder other stars don't seem as bright as the Sun! |
