Hi..if you mean 3.26 light years its a parsec (pc) - the preferred (by astronomers) unit of distance outside the solar system. Defined as the distance at which 1 Astronomical Unit subtends an angle of 1 second of arc (1/3600 of a degree), or the distance an object has to be for its parallax to equal 1 second of arc. Equal to 3.26 light years or 30,800,000,000,000 km.

I'll assume you mean as you say..32621 light years.


The answer is 191,344,869,216,000,000 miles..


the speed of light being 186.000 miles per second or 669,600,000 miles per hour

Assuming that you're doing the Sunday Mail �1500 Prize Crossword - it's parsec.
