To find the distance between two numbers on a number line, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = |a - b|
\]
where \( a \) and \( b \) are the two numbers. In this case, we have \( a = -8 \) and \( b = 16 \).
Calculating the distance:
\[
\text{Distance} = |-8 - 16| = |-24| = 24
\]
Therefore, the distance between \( -8 \) and \( 16 \) on a number line is \( \boxed{24} \).
