1 E19 m

To help compare different orders of magnitude, this page lists distances between 10¹⁹ m (1,100 light years) and 10²⁰ m (11,000 light years).
See also lengths of other orders of magnitude.

• Distances shorter than 10¹⁹ m
• 1,500 light years -- approximate thickness of the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy at the Sun's location
• 1,600 ly -- distance from Earth of the Orion Nebula
• 5,000 light years -- distance to the Boomerang nebula, coldest place known (1 K)
• 5,600 light years -- distance to the extrasolar planet Methuselah
• 6,500 light years -- distance to Perseus arm (next spiral arm out in the Milky Way galaxy)
• Distances longer than 10²⁰ m
