Approximately 40.1 trillion kilometres.

The distance of Proxima from here is 4.24 light-years. A (Julian) year is 3.15576 × 107 seconds, and the speed of light in vacuo is 2.997 924 58 × 108 metres per second. That makes a light-year 9.461 × 1015 metres. 4.24 times 9.461 × 1015 metres is 4.011 × 1016 metres, which is 4.011 × 1013 kilometres. Round to the number of significant figures in the least precise factor.

What does par in parsec means?

parallax[parallax+second], in astronomy, basic unit of length for measuring interstellar and intergalactic distances, equal to 206,265 times the distance from the earth to the sun, 3.26 light-years, or 3.08×1013 km (about 19 million million mi). The distance in parsecs of an object from the earth is the reciprocal of the http://www.answers.com/topic/parallax of the object. The nearest star, Proxima Centauri, has a parallax of 0.763″ of arc and a distance of about 1.31 parsecs.definition from Answers.com


How long will it take you to reach Alpha Centauri 4.37 light years away if you are travelling 16000 mph?

As the distance to Alpha Centauri is 4.367 light years then traveling at the speed of light it would take 4.367 years to get there. However due to the effects of special relativity the travelers would experience the trip as instantaneous (i.e. taking no time at all). From the earth if the travelers sent back a message as soon as they arrived, that message would arrive 8.734 years after the travelers departed.
