  > Stars are of the order of thousands of star-diameters apart from each other no. they're millions of star-diameters apart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radius https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radius compare it to a light year. note that the nearest star is 4 something light years away. the average is about 5 ly. > while galaxies are of the order tens of galaxy-diameters apart. i think that's low, but harder to define.
