Well, it’s roughly 1 light day away.

A light year is 5,879,000,000,000 miles

Divide that by 365 and you have your answer.

How far away is that? Can’t we use miles?

From NASA JPL Horizons solar system dynamics:

DATE: October 18, 2024 12:00 GMT
Distance: 15,381,582,895 Miles
Light Time to Earth: 22:56:11 (HH:MM:SS)
Speed wrt to the Sun 10.51 Miles/Second

The speed with respect to the earth is about 27 mi/sec, because of the motion of the earth in its orbit is directed away from the spacecraft this time of year.
