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 average distance from Earth to the Moon is about 384,400 kilometers.
The moon is about 0.0000000406 light years away from earth. Clearly, the moon is MUCH too close (238,000 or 239,000 miles or so) for the distance to be rendered meaningfully in light years.
I can't give you the answer in kilometres, but Wolf 359 is 7.78 lightyears from Earth
Mercury Is 0.000131 lightyears away from earth
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
1 mile unless you go the long route voa heaven and the it is 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 lightyears away
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).
666 Lightyears
it is a galaxy lightyears away
