1 light year is 9,500,000,000,000km (9.5trillion) so that number times 4.3. So roughly 39,900,000,000,000km (39 trillion 9 hundred million) to the nearest star from earth. Now add 150 millionkm (the distance from the earth to the sun) 39 trillion 159 millionkm This why we use the term light year because these numbers ase just to great to comprehend and this is just the nearest star.
