Vega, the brightest star in the constellation lyra, has a parallax angle of approximately 0.13 arcseconds, approximately Vega will be 25.076 Light year or 7.692 Parsec away from the sun
The parallax angle is the angle between the Earth at one time of year, and the Earth six months later, as measured from a nearby star.
Mathematically it can be understood as that the parallax angle is the angle which is taken from a point at one time on the earth and again after six months later from the same point on the earth. The parallax angle is the semi-angle of inclination between the two lines to sight.
Stellar parallax is the basis for the parsec, which is the distance from the Sun to an astronomical object that has a parallax angle of one arcsecond.
Distance (in parsec) = 1 / (parallax angle ( arcsec))
given
parallax angle = 0.13 arcseconds
Distance (in parsec) = 1/ 0.13 = 7.692 Parsec
if 1 Parsec = 3.26 Light year
So, 7.692 Parsec will be equal to = 3.26 * 7.692 = 25.076 Light year
≈ 25.076 Light year
