I'm sure it's not even half a light year. I'm sure it's a very minute fraction of a light year.

Consider this, light travels 186,000 miles per second and earth is eight and one half light minutes from the sun. Saturn to Pluto can be expressed in light minutes also the distance being roughly thirty light minutes a very small fraction of a light year. Proxima Centory is the closest stsar to this solar system at about 4.5 light years. Just about anything in this solar system out to the Ort colud can be expressed in light minutes.
