My understanding is light travels 6 million miles a year. So we are about 15.5 light years from El Sol. It is also my understanding that 15 is more than 4.37. while 4.37 X 6 is less than 93.
Wait... What do you even mean by "el sol"? Because our Sun is like 8 light minutes away. I'm confused. If Alpha centauri were closer than the sun, we would have a huge ass second sun in the southern sky.
