Light years aren't the best, since it is only about 0.000624 light years away. Saying that the distance is 39 AU would be better. On the other hand, it's a much better unit than saying the distance is 3,229,510,630,000 fathoms.
Distance. Absolute magnitude is a measure of the intrinsic brightness of a star, independent of its distance from Earth.
light years are used as a type of measurement to calculate the distance between planets, astronomical units are used to measure how far away a planet is from earth.
A Light Year is a measure of distance. If a star is 61 light years away, then it would take light (or radio waves, which travel at the speed of light) 61 years to get there.

No. A light year measures such large distances that it would be highly impractical to measure anything on Earth. The light year is used to measure distance in space beyond the solar system.
The distance is 41 parsecs (approx 134 lightyears).
it is 4.24 lightyears away
Lightyears. The distance between the Sun and Earth is 1.49 lightyears (149 000 000 km)
over 9000 lightyears away
In terms of the speed of light, the distance between the Earth and Sun is81/3 light minutes,or about 0.00001585 light-year.
Lightyear isn't about time, it's distance. One lightyear is ten trillion kilometers.
Two Lightyears
Parallax is the method that astronomers use to measure the distance from the sun to the earth.
Distance. Absolute magnitude is a measure of the intrinsic brightness of a star, independent of its distance from Earth.
Approx. 196 lightyears.
light years are used as a type of measurement to calculate the distance between planets, astronomical units are used to measure how far away a planet is from earth.
Celsius is a measure of temperature, not distance.
