The furthest planets from Earth are Exoplanets (or extrasolar planets), which are outside our solar system and are in orbit around other local stars. So far, over 500 have beeâ¦n detected. The furthest confirmed exoplanet so far is MOA-2008-BLG-310L, which is over 20,000 light years away.
Scientists will never know the farthest star from Earth, as the star is so far away that its light has not, nor will ever, have enough time to reach Earth. Even the stars within the visible universe are far too numerous to count, but the farthest one that humans have ever detected is about 55 million light years away.
