How far is the Big Dipper from the earth?

The Big Dipper at the tail of Ursa major belongs to Ursa major, but it is not the same celestial system, because the celestial system is a system composed of interacting celestial bodies, such as the Earth-Moon system and the solar system. The Big Dipper only looks very close to the earth with its eyes, but the actual distance is dozens of light years.

Below is the distance from the Big Dipper to the earth, and we can see the distance between them.
