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

Not in the known ordinals. But if anything else, then name it, and how many of these are there.

 

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

 No, there is no inherent "distance" metric in ordinal numbers

Wrong. The ordinals 7 and 27 have the distance 27 - 7 = 20.
