current distance that the voyager 1 spacecraft is from earth
Voyager 1 Voyager 1 is a space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977. Part of the Voyager program to study the outer Solar System, Voyager 1 launched 16 days after its twin, Voyager 2. Having operated for 40 years, 7 months and 4 days as of April 9, 2018, the spacecraft still communicates with the Deep Space Network to receive routine commands and return data. At a distance of 141 AU (2.11×1010 km), approximately 21 billion kilometers (13 billion miles) from the Sun as of January 2, 2018,[3] it is the farthest spacecraft and man-made object from Earth.
Outer space Earth's gravity reaches out far past the Van Allen radiation belts and keeps the Moon in orbit at an average distance of 384,403 km (238,857 mi). The region outside Earth's atmosphere and extending out to just beyond the Moon's orbit, including the Lagrangian points, is sometimes referred to as cis-lunar space.[106] By consensus, any region beyond cislunar space is referred to as deep space.[107] The region of space where the gravity of the Earth remains dominant against gravitational perturbations from the Sun is called the Hill sphere.[108] This extends well out into translunar space to a distance of roughly 1% of the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun,[109] or 1.5 million km (0.93 million mi).
