One light-year is the distance light travels in one year. this distance is equal to 9.461 × 10^15 m. after the sun, the star nearest to earth is alpha centauri, which is about 4.35 light-years from earth. express this distance in

The answer to your question is: 4.12 x 10¹⁶ m

Explanation:

1 light year = 9.461 x 10¹⁵ m

distance Earth to alpha centauri is 4.35 light years

                                    1 light year 9.461 x 10¹⁵ m

                                 4.35 light years   x

                               x = 4.35 x 9.461 x 10¹⁵ m / 1 light year

                               x = 4.12 x 10¹⁶ m
