Q:

How long would it take to travel 4 light years?

Answer

There are approximately 6 trillion miles in a light-year, so the distance we need to go is 6 trillion miles / light-year times. 4 light-years is equal to 24 trillion miles. So, this whole would take 1.2 billion hours. There are 24 hours a day and 365.25 days per year, so this time in years is 137 thousand years.
