Can someone tell me why this raycasting script isn't giving me the right distance?

Whenever I fall from a high distance, it will only print out small amounts like 2.988454 or something. I am not sure why I am getting these small amounts when I should be getting much greater amounts. Can someone help?

--// Fall Damage
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local Danger = false
local Height = 0
local Despacito = Vector3.new(0,0,0)

Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(state)
	print(state)
	if state == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		Danger = true
		
		spawn(function()
			while Danger do
				wait()
				
		local ray = Ray.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Vector3.new(0,-1,0)*5000)
		local part, position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, plr.Character, false, true)
		print(part)
		if part.Position ~= Despacito then
			if part.Position == Despacito then return end

		local distance = (Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.p - position).magnitude
		print(distance)
		Height = distance
		Despacito = part.Position 
		end
		
			end
		end)




	elseif state == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
		print(Height)
		Danger = false
		Despacito = Vector3.new()
		if Height >= 30 then
			print("SUPER DUPER HIGH oHNO")
		end
	elseif state ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed and state ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		Danger = false
	end
end)
