ARE ANY OF THE 9 PLANETS WITHIN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM A LIGHT YEAR OR MORE AWAY FROM EARTH?

No, none of the nine planets in our solar system are a light year or more away from Earth. A light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is approximately 5.88 trillion miles or 9.46 trillion kilometers. The closest planet to Earth is Venus, with an average distance of about 26 million miles or 42 million kilometers. The farthest planet, Neptune, is about 2.7 billion miles or 4.4 billion kilometers away from Earth at its furthest point. These distances are still orders of magnitude smaller than a light year.
