The distance between the stars
The distance from the sun to the nearest star is about 4.3 light years or about 40 trillion km. This distance is so great that in a model where the Earth would be 25
mm away from the Sun, the distance to the nearest star would be over 6.5 km!
Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, together with our Sun, contains nearly 100 billion stars. It represents a spiral-shaped cluster of stars, presumably more than
100,000 light years in diameter.

The distance between the planets
The distance between Earth and Sun is 149 million km or 1 astronomical unit (AU).
The elliptical orbit of Pluto is relatively eccentric and ensures that the
Planet in its closest point to the sun is still within the Neptune orbit.
