Best Answer

The Orion Nebula is a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years from the Earth. Based on the plus or minus 20 light years, it doesn't matter if you measure from the Earth or the Sun. The accuracy is within the tolerance range.

According to Rob Jeffries at Keele University in England, the Orion Nebula may be as close as 1300 light years from Earth.

About 1,344 years. So the light you are seeing, left the Orion Nebula in the year 666 - about the time when the World population was only 208 million!!

The asteroid belt is a vaguely-defined region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The nearer edge of the belt is about 15 light-MINUTES away from the Earth.

1,344 ± 20 light years, according to Wikipedia. The "plus/minus" refers to the estimated error in measurement.
