There are about 100 billion stars in the Milky way. The distance between the nearest star Centaurus and the sun is about 4.22 light years (1 light year ≈ 9.46 × 10 12 km). How many years will it take to get to Centaurus by supersonic plane? (365 calculations per year, the speed of supersonic plane is 10350 M / s, so three significant numbers are reserved.)
T = s / v = 9.46 * 10 ^ 12km * 4.22/10.35km/s = 3.857 * 10 ^ 12s = 122000 years
