Fun Facts:The closest main star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.37 light years distant. This is approximately 25,687,000,000,000 (25 trillion, 687 billion) miles. With a vehicle traveling 60 miles per hour, it would take approximately 48,838,000 (48 million, 838 thousand) years to arrive. If the vehicle got 25 miles per gallon, the trip would consume about 1,028,000,000,000 (1 trillion, 28 billion) gallons of gasoline, which is slightly more than the total gasoline consumption of the U.S. in seven (7) years.
