Arcturus, Pollux (one of 'the twins'), Sirius A, Sun ... Jupiter is about one pixel, earth is not visible at this scale Antares, Betelgeuse, Aldebaran, Rigel, Arcturus, Pollux, Sirius A ... The Sun is about one pixel, Jupiter is not visible at this scale Reflected sunlight from the Moon's surface takes 1.2 - 1.3 seconds to travel the distance to the Earth's surface. The distance between the Earth and Moon is approximately 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles). Sunlight takes approximately 499 seconds (8.32 minutes) to travel from the Sun to the Earth. The distance between the Earth and Sun is approximately 149 million kilometers (93 million miles). The Milky Way Galaxy (our home) is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter and 1,000 light years thick. The Milky Way Galaxy contains approximately 100 to 400 billion stars. Our sun's rotation around the galaxy takes approximately 250 million years. The Andromeda Galaxy located at a distance of 2.5 million light years away is the nearest major galaxy and is of comparable size to our own galaxy. One light year is approximately 10,000,000,000,000 kilometers (10 trillion kilometers) or 6,000,000,000,000 miles (6 trillion miles). One light-year is equal to: exactly 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (about 9.5 Pm) about 5,878,625,373,183.608 miles (about 6 trillion miles) about 63,241.1 astronomical units about 0.306601 parsecs exactly 31,557,600 light-seconds Now, how big did you say your problem is?
