# Distance(Vector3, Vector3)

> Returns the distance between a and b.

## Definition

* **Type:** Method
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public static float Distance(Vector3 a, Vector3 b)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[Vector3]\(/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/vector3)): **** (\[Vector3]\(/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/vector3)): 

### Returns

| Type                                                          | Description |

| [float](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.single) |             |

### Remarks

`Vector3.Distance(a,b)` is the same as `(a-b).magnitude`.

### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform other;

    void Example()
    {
        if (other)
        {
            float dist = Vector3.Distance(other.position, transform.position);
            print("Distance to other: " + dist);
        }
    }
}
```
