What is the distance between earth and pluto in light years?

Answer 1

5.41 #E-04# = 0.000541 ly, nearly

The eccentricity of Pluto's orbit is high. So, average distance has to be taken as semi-minor axis b = 5.12 E+09 km, for even 3-sd approximations. To convert to light years, divide by 299.792.458 for light seconds and then use 1 sec = #1/(60.60.24.365.256) year.

The distance between Earth and Pluto varies due to their elliptical orbits. On average, it's about 5.9 billion kilometers or approximately 39.5 astronomical units (AU). Converted to light years, it's approximately 0.000626 light years.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
