The Sun is relatively close to the Earth, being approximately 150 million kilometers away. However, the Milky Way galaxy is incredibly vast. Other stars within the Milky Way are located at distances ranging from a few light-years to thousands of light-years from the Sun. Therefore, most stars in the Milky Way are significantly further away from the Earth than the Sun is. This vastness contributes to the difficulty in observing and studying the entire galaxy directly.
