Imagine that the distance between the Earth and the Sun is the thickness of a piece of paper.
The distance from Earth to the next closest star would equal a stack of paper 71 feet high.
The diameter of our galaxy would equal a stack 310 miles high.
The distance to the next closest galaxy would equal a stack 6000 miles high.
The distance to the edge of the known universe would equal a stack 31 million miles high or about 1/3 of the distance to the sun.
