A parsec is an astronomical unit of distance where 1 parsec = 3.26 light-years (1 light year equals the distance traveled by light in one year). If the speed of light is 186,000 mi/s, calculate the distance in meters of an object that travels 9.6 parsecs.

In astronomy, distances are often expressed in light-years. One light-year is the distance traveled by light in one year. The distance to Alpha Centauri, the closest star other than our own sun that can be seen by the naked eye, is about 4.3 light-years. Express this distance in meters

it is estimated that the nearest star outside the solar system is 4.0×10^16m away. express this distance in light year, where one light year is the distance that light travels in one year. (take the speed of light to be 3.0×10^8 m s-1

Distances in space are often quoted in units of light-years, the distance light travels in one year. (a) How many meters is a light-year? (b) How many meters is it to Andromeda, the nearest large galaxy, given that it is 2.00× light years away?
