Need now the table below compares the distances between two bodies. comparison of distance bodies distance earth and y 59 au earth and z 3.2 light years based on the table, which of the following statements is true? z is closer to earth than y is. y is present outside the solar system. y is most likely a galaxy close to earth. z is present outside the solar system.

 Z is present outside the solar system.    

Explanation:

1 AU is equivalent to distance between the Earth and the Sun. It is approximately equal to 150 million kilometers.

1 light year is equivalent to distance traveled by light in one year.

1 light year = 63241.1 AU.

It is given that Y is at a distance of 59 AU and Z is 3.2 light years away from Earth.

This means that Y is closer to Earth and Z is very far. The solar system extends up to 122 AU. It means Z is present outside the solar system.
