According to calculations , the comoving distance ( current proper distance ) to particles from the CMBR , which represent the radius of the visible universe , is about 14.0 billion parsecs ( about 45.7 billion light years ) , while the comoving distance to the edge of the observable universe is about 14.3 billion parsecs ( about 46.6 billion light years ) , about 2 % larger .
