Light-Years
Any distances between two points outside the solar system, or betweenanything inside the solar system and anything outside it, are.(With the exception of the distances now being estimated between exoplanetsand their respective host-stars.)
Astronomical Units are too small to be a useful unit of measure, therefore light years are used.
Karl Jansky
Inside our Solar System distances are measured in Astronomical Units (AU) which is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, or about 93 million miles. Jupiter is about 5.5 AU distance from the sun or around 500 million miles. Distances outside our Solar System are usually measured in Light Years.

There are two main units of distance used for measuring space distances, they are solar units and light years
No. Mars is the fourth planet of our solar system.
in the solar system, distances are measured in AU's which stand for atronomical units.
In the inner solar system, at distances of less than 5 AU from the Sun.

No. Galaxies are well beyond our solar system. Our solar system is just one tiny part of the Milky Way Galaxy.
No. None of the stars you see at night are in the solar system. They are lightyears beyond it.
