Answer #1

Use Lorentz transformation.

Basically we have to find distance w.r.t the earth , so just only have required speed of space craft to calculate distance.

Also, multiply the final answer with 31536000 ×3.825 ×10^9 =1.206×10^17 metre. This is the total distance.

Because 1 year has 31536000seconds.
