Hi

Explicação:

15. The distance between stars is expressed in light years because stars are an incredibly large distance from each other. Just to give you an idea, 1 light year is equivalent to 9,461 trillion km, which means that the star you mentioned at a distance of 8 light years from Earth, would be 8 x 9,461 x 10¹² km = 75,688 x 10¹² km from Earth.
