 Nothing, it is the initial member of the transfinite ordinals. just as zero is the initial member of the finite ordinals.

Not in the ordinals, which is what you say the context is this time.

And how long is the distance from ω to a natnumber?

 This makes no sense.

Is there a 'distance' metric in the ordinals?
============================================
AI Overview
No, there is no inherent "distance" metric in ordinal numbers because ordinal data only tells you the relative order of items, not the actual distance between them; you can only say which value is higher or lower, not how much higher or lower it is compared to another value.
