* The Moon is Earth's natural satellite, orbiting at an average distance of about 238,900 miles (384,400 kilometers).
* Polaris is a star located about 323 light-years from Earth. That's roughly 1.9 x 10^13 miles (3 x 10^13 kilometers)!
To put it into perspective, the distance to the Moon is like walking across your living room. The distance to Polaris is like walking across the entire galaxy.
