Answer:

The large distances are expressed in light years. A star is located eight light years away from the Earth. This means that the distance between the star and the Earth is equivalent to the distance travelled by light in eight years. So the distance between the earth and star = 8x (9.46 x 1012) =7.6 x 1013 km.

HOPE IT HELPS U DEAR.....☺☺☺

Hey¡

Light is used to measure large distances.

Si unit is meter

oNe Light year = 9.46×10¹

It means star is at 8 × 9.46 × 10¹ = 75.68× 10¹ m away from the start.
