How Far is Voyager 1 from Earth?
The distance of Voyager 1 from Earth is currently 24,150,725,303 kilometers, equivalent to 161.437627 Astronomical Units. Light takes 22 hours, 22 minutes and 38.1483 seconds to travel from Voyager 1 and arrive to us.
The following chart shows the distance of Voyager 1 from Earth as a function of time. In the chart the distance data is measured in Astronomical Units and sampled with an interval of 1 day.
The value of the reported distance might be somewhat inaccurate around the times of closest approach for objects passing extremely close to Earth. The value of the distance of Voyager 1 from Earth is also available as a real time updated value in the Live Position and Data Tracker.
