How many light years is the sun away from the earth? How many light-years is our planet away from the sun? Another question is always puzzling me! If the sun is 5 light-years away from our earth, then the sun will explode or disappear at this time, will we see the explosion or disappearance of the sun on our earth at this time? Or will we wait until five years later?

It's not that far
The sun is only 0.00000 x-ray-years away from the earth, and the time for the sun to reach the earth is only a few seconds
If it is 5 light years, it is the latter



How far is the sun from the earth? How many light years


The maximum distance between the earth and the sun is 1.521 × 108km, about in early July of each year, and the minimum distance is 1.471 × 108km, about in early January of each year. The average distance is 1.496 × 108km. People regard the distance between the earth and the sun as an astronomical unit, and take its integer as 150 million km



The speed of light in vacuum is 300000 kilometers per second. "Light year" is a unit to measure the distance of celestial bodies. It refers to the distance light travels in a year. How many million kilometers is a light year calculated by a calculator? (365 days per year)


One light year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 x 30 million km = 946.08 billion km
