Sedna's orbit (left) is longer than 100 Tm, but other lengths are between 10 and 100 Tm: Comet Hale-Bopp's orbit (lower, faint orange); one light-day (yellow spherical shell with yellow Vernal point arrow as radius); the heliosphere's termination shock (blue shell); and other arrows show positions of Voyager 1 (red) and Pioneer 10 (green).

To help compare different distances this page lists lengths starting at 10¹³ m (10 Tm or 10,000 million km or 67 astronomical units).

Distances shorter than 10 Tm

• 11.1 Tm — 74.2 AU — Distance that Voyager 1 began detecting returning particles from termination shock
• 11.4 Tm — 76.2 AU — Perihelion distance of 90377 Sedna
• 12.1 Tm — 70 to 90 AU — Distance to termination shock (Voyager 1 crossed at 94 AU)
• 12.9 Tm — 86.3 AU — Distance to 90377 Sedna in March 2014
• 13.2 Tm — 88.6 AU — Distance to Pioneer 11 in March 2014
• 14.1 Tm — 94.3 AU — Estimated radius of the solar system
• 14.4 Tm — 96.4 AU — Distance to Eris in March 2014 (now near its aphelion)
• 15.1 Tm — 101 AU — Distance to heliosheath
• 15.6 Tm — 104 AU — Distance to Voyager 2 in March 2014
• 16.5 Tm — 111 AU — Distance to Pioneer 10 in March 2014
• 19.0 Tm — 127 AU — Distance to Voyager 1 in March 2014
• 25.9 Tm — 172 AU — One light-day
• 55.7 Tm — 371 AU — Aphelion distance of the comet Hale-Bopp
