          A partial answer ...



          Skanda Purana says that the distance is 8 crore yojanas.



          Quoting from the book "Essence of Skanda Purana":




          there was no Place like Bharat which happened to be the ‘Karmabhumi’
          or the Place where Noble Deeds were rewarded and there was no Tirtha
          like Kasi and no Bhagavan like Viswanath Linga in the Universe.’
          Having visited Satya Loka, Siva Sharma asked the Vishnu Prashads as to
          how far he would have to travel farther and the latter replied that
          from Prithvi to Surya Loka the distance was away by a lakh Yojanas
          (one Yojana is 13-16 km approx); from Prithvi to Maha Loka is one
          Crore Yojanas; from Prithvi to Jana Loka is two crore yojanas, four
          crore yojanas to Jana Loka and eight crore yojanas to Satya Loka;
          sixteen crore yojanas to Vishnu Loka and sixteen times higher from
          Vaikuntha to Kailasa Dham; in other words, the distance from Bhu Loka
          to Kailas is a staggering figure of two arab and fifty six crore
          yojanas! From Satya Loka Siva Sharma was blessed to travel further to
          reside at Vaikuntha.




          Note that Brahmaloka is another name for the Satyaloka. And, for understanding the unit of measurement, Yojana, see the wiki article.

          • These figures doesn't seem right. 8 crore yojana multiplied by 16 is only 128 crore km which is too less compared to the distance of galaxies discovered. Light travels at a speed of 10 trillion km an year. Farthest galaxy discovered is at 13 billion light years away. The distance of Kailash from earth is 4000 crore km, the light from physical plane from such a distance would reach earth in less than 3 years. 2 conclusions can be drawn - either these figures are wrong or all these lokas are nowhere near the boundaries of cosmic egg and in light years term, close to earth relatively.

          The answer lies in the Vishnu Purana:




          Parasara said: The sphere of the earth (or Bhúr-loka), comprehending its oceans, mountains, and rivers, extends as far as it is illuminated by the rays of the sun and moon; and to the same extent, both in diameter and circumference, the sphere of the sky (Bhuvar-loka) spreads above it (as far upwards as to the planetary sphere, or Swar-loka). The solar orb is situated a hundred thousand yojanas from the earth; and that of the moon an equal distance from the sun. At the same interval above the moon occurs the orbit of all the lunar constellations. The planet Budha (Mercury) is two hundred thousand yojanas above the lunar mansions. Śukra (Venus) is at the same distance from Mercury. Angáraka (Mars) is as far above Venus; and the priest of the gods (Vrihaspati, or Jupiter) as far from Mars: whilst Saturn (Sani) is two hundred and fifty thousand yojanas beyond Jupiter. The sphere of the seven Rishis (Ursa Major) is a hundred thousand yojanas above Saturn; and at a similar height above the seven Rishis is Dhruva (the pole-star), the pivot or axis of the whole planetary circle. Such, Maitreya, is the elevation of the three spheres (Bhúr, Bhuvar, Swar) which form the region of the consequences of works. The region of works is here (or in the land of Bhárata). Above Dhruva, at the distance of ton million yojanas, lies the sphere of saints, or Mahar-loka, the inhabitants of which dwell in it throughout a Kalpa, or day of Brahmá. At twice that distance is situated Janaloka, where Sanandana and other pure-minded sons of Brahmá, reside. At four times the distance, between the two last, lies the Tapo-loka (the sphere of penance), inhabited by the deities called Vaibhrájas, who are unconsumable by fire. At six times the distance (a hundred and twenty millions of yojanas) is situated Satya-loka (Brahma-loka), the sphere of truth, the inhabitants of which never again know death. (Vishnu Purana, Book II, Chapter VII)




          So if we perform a simple calculation, the distance between the Earth and Brahmaloka (Satyaloka) would be two hundred and thirty-four million yojanas.

          • A yojana is about 12–15 km thusly: Brahmaloka is about 2808 million km - 3510 million km away from us.

          • The answer is correct but the measurement from earth you all answered is wrong as what you calculated is not the minimum distance it is from planet to planet which can be even more but skanda purana answer's the direct distance from the earth which is 8 crore yojanas.

          These figures doesn't seem right. 8 crore yojana multiplied by 16 is only 128 crore km which is too less compared to the distance of galaxies discovered. Light travels at a speed of 10 trillion km an year. Farthest galaxy discovered is at 13 billion light years away. The distance of Kailash from earth is 4000 crore km, the light from physical plane from such a distance would reach earth in less than 3 years. 2 conclusions can be drawn - either these figures are wrong or all these lokas are nowhere near the boundaries of cosmic egg and in light years term, close to earth relatively.

          @Chinmay Sarupria they are relative close based upon scriptures but who says any of this is real?

          The answer lies in the Vishnu Purana:




          Parasara said: The sphere of the earth (or Bhúr-loka), comprehending its oceans, mountains, and rivers, extends as far as it is illuminated by the rays of the sun and moon; and to the same extent, both in diameter and circumference, the sphere of the sky (Bhuvar-loka) spreads above it (as far upwards as to the planetary sphere, or Swar-loka). The solar orb is situated a hundred thousand yojanas from the earth; and that of the moon an equal distance from the sun. At the same interval above the moon occurs the orbit of all the lunar constellations. The planet Budha (Mercury) is two hundred thousand yojanas above the lunar mansions. Śukra (Venus) is at the same distance from Mercury. Angáraka (Mars) is as far above Venus; and the priest of the gods (Vrihaspati, or Jupiter) as far from Mars: whilst Saturn (Sani) is two hundred and fifty thousand yojanas beyond Jupiter. The sphere of the seven Rishis (Ursa Major) is a hundred thousand yojanas above Saturn; and at a similar height above the seven Rishis is Dhruva (the pole-star), the pivot or axis of the whole planetary circle. Such, Maitreya, is the elevation of the three spheres (Bhúr, Bhuvar, Swar) which form the region of the consequences of works. The region of works is here (or in the land of Bhárata). Above Dhruva, at the distance of ton million yojanas, lies the sphere of saints, or Mahar-loka, the inhabitants of which dwell in it throughout a Kalpa, or day of Brahmá. At twice that distance is situated Janaloka, where Sanandana and other pure-minded sons of Brahmá, reside. At four times the distance, between the two last, lies the Tapo-loka (the sphere of penance), inhabited by the deities called Vaibhrájas, who are unconsumable by fire. At six times the distance (a hundred and twenty millions of yojanas) is situated Satya-loka (Brahma-loka), the sphere of truth, the inhabitants of which never again know death. (Vishnu Purana, Book II, Chapter VII)




          So if we perform a simple calculation, the distance between the Earth and Brahmaloka (Satyaloka) would be two hundred and thirty-four million yojanas.

          • A yojana is about 12–15 km thusly: Brahmaloka is about 2808 million km - 3510 million km away from us.

          • The answer is correct but the measurement from earth you all answered is wrong as what you calculated is not the minimum distance it is from planet to planet which can be even more but skanda purana answer's the direct distance from the earth which is 8 crore yojanas.
