To help compare different distances this page lists lengths starting at 10¹⁴ m (100 Tm or 100,000 million km or 670 astronomical units).

Distances shorter than 100 Tm

146 Tm — 975 AU — Aphelion distance of 90377 Sedna
172 TM — 1150 AU — Schwarzschild diameter of H1821+643, one of the most massive black holes known
181 Tm — 1210 AU — One light-week
653 Tm — 4367 AU — Aphelion distance of comet Hyakutake (current orbit)^[1]
757 Tm — 5059 AU — radius of the Stingray Nebula^[2]
777 Tm — 5180 AU — One light-month

Distances longer than 1 Pm
