star, Proxima Centauri. How far away, in meters, is Proxima Centauri?

Answer 1

proxima centauri Is 40208000000000km or ( about 268.770AU.) away from our planet

Answer 2

4 × 10^16 m

Step-by-step explanation:

`c=(d)/(t)`

d = c × t

`d = 3 * 10^(8) *4.3 * 365.25 * 24 * 60 60 = 4 * 10^(16) meters`
