To rank astronomical objects based on their distances from Earth from farthest to nearest, here is a general ordering using the most distant objects known down to nearby planets and stars: Ranked from Farthest to Nearest:

  • JADES-GS-z14-0 Galaxy (redshift z = 14.32) - Most distant confirmed galaxy known, about 13.5 billion light-years away
  • Quasar UHZ1 (z ~ 10.0) and Black hole GN-z11 (z = 10.6) - Among the most distant quasars and black holes observed, roughly 13 billion light-years away
  • Gamma-ray burst GRB 090423 (z = 8.2) - Extremely distant stellar explosion event, about 13 billion light-years away
  • Earendel (WHL0137-LS) (z = 6.2) - Most distant individual star detected, about 12.9 billion light-years away
  • Galaxy protocluster A2744z7p9OD (z = 7.88) - Very distant galaxy cluster, roughly 13 billion light-years away
  • The Sparkler star cluster (z = 1.378) - About 13.9 billion light-years away
  • Planets in the Solar System (distances measured in astronomical units (AU) or millions of kilometers):
    • Venus - closest approach about 0.266 AU (~39.8 million km)
* **Mars** \- closest approach about 0.372 AU (~55.7 million km)
* **Mercury** \- closest approach about 0.552 AU (~82.5 million km)
* **Earth** \- reference point, 0 AU.
* **Jupiter** \- about 3.96 AU (~592 million km) at closest approach
* **Saturn** \- about 8.05 AU (~1.2 billion km)
* **Uranus** \- about 17.3 AU (~2.6 billion km)
* **Neptune** \- about 28.8 AU (~4.3 billion km)

This ranking shows the vast scale difference between distant galaxies/quasars and objects within our solar system. The farthest galaxies and quasars are billions of light-years away, while planets are measured in astronomical units (1 AU = distance from Earth to Sun, ~150 million km). If you provide a specific list of objects, I can rank those precisely. But generally, the order from farthest to nearest is: Distant galaxies/quasars > Gamma-ray bursts > Individual distant stars > Star clusters > Planets in the Solar System
