1 light year = 63,240 Astronomical Units
I'm pretty sure Algol is 105 light years away.
You can use astronomical units or light years.
Astronomical units, light years, parsecs, and astronomical units are commonly used to measure distances in space. Other units include solar radii, astronomical units, and light years to measure sizes and distances of objects in space.
Normally in Astronomical Units (AU) which is the average distance from the earth to the sun.
Pluto's orbit is not measured in light years as it is within our solar system. Pluto's average distance from the Sun is about 3.7 billion miles or 39.5 astronomical units.
Light years and astronomical units are both units of distance.
Betelgeuse is 40,473,416.93376 AU' (Astronomical Units) from Earth.
There are 7 fundamental units in S.I system .Thus ,for unit of length and mass and conversion ,the relations are given .By the conversion table :We can say that miles,light years and astronomical units are bigger than kilometers .
Units such as light years and astronomical units are useful because they can be used to measure very large distances without yielding extremely large numbers.
16 light years is 1,011,834.75 AU (Astronomical Units).
5.5 light years equates to 347,818.194 AU (Astronomical Units).
Astronomical Units, parsecs, light years, take your pick.

the light from the sun takes 81/2 minutes to reach earth(=1a.u.). Light travels 186,000 miles per second. 510 seconds times 186,000=94,860,000. Earth is on average 94 million miles from the sun. Light travels 11,160,000 miles in 1 minute, 669,600,000 miles in 1 hour,16,070,400,000 in 1 day and 5,865,696,000,000 miles in one year(1 light year). Now divide 94,860,000 by 5,865,696,000,000 to get your answer in I believe a number that is in the hundredths (i.e.=.00whatever my calculator cannot handle numbers in the trillions).
