It is hard to measure because light travels at such a high speed in one second that in one year, it would be too large a number to calculate. Try finding our the speed of light per second or minute and using conversions to calculate how many miles it would be. :)

How large is the Cat's Eye Nebula in light-years?

That depends what you include in the "Solar System". The Oort Cloud - a group of comets - is believed to be at a distance of about 1 light-year from the Sun; that would give a diameter of about 2 light-years. If you only include the 8 major planets, the size of the Solar System is only a fraction of a light-year. (A light-year is the distance light travels in a year; light gets from the Sun to the farthest planet in just a few hours.)
