8 light years = 75685843780650 kilometers
Because stars are much, much further away than planets are. What sounds better? The nearest star is 4.24 lightyears away or 40,132,658,900,000 (Or 4.013x10^13) kilometers? To go even deeper, it's better to give distance in astronomical units (1 au = Mean distance from Sun to Earth), megameters (1Mm = 1,000km) or gigameters (1Gm = 1,000,000km) when refering to planets. When refering to distance, it's best and least confusing to use smaller units. If you reference somoething extremely far away, you would often use parsecs (Be it parsecs, megaparsecs, etc.). where 1 parsec = 3.2 lightyears.
The moon is 384,400 kilometers away.
Mercury Is 0.000131 lightyears away from earth
A lightyear is the distance that light travels in a year. Light travels 186,000 miles every second. So in one year light travels: 186,000 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 365 = 5,868,696,000,000 miles, and in 72 years: 422,330,112,000,000 miles.
It is around 640 lightyears away.
it is 4.24 lightyears away
over 9000 lightyears away
it is 0.0000000406 lightyears away, it is pretty close.

The closest (DX Cnc) is 11.8 lightyears away. The farthest is nearly 4000 lightyears away.
It would all depend on the speed travelling, as time = distance/speed.
space means a outside cold world lightyears and lightyears away in the deep space
Only if you know your location (the coordinate on the distance scale and the time scale) where "you" are can you infer if the object is moving towards you (the absolute distance to the object is decreasing) or away from you (the distance is increasing).
