E S *
The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).
The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years
Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.
To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.
As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.
To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles
A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>

Answer:
Light refracts when its speed changes as it enters a new medium.
Explanation:
Bending of light wave while it entering a medium with different speed is called refraction of light. Light passing from a faster medium to the slower medium bends the light rays toward the normal to boundary between two media. The amount of the bending of light depends on refractive index of the two media which is described by the Snell's Law. The angle of incidence is not equal to angle of refraction. Rainbow is caused but this refraction phenomena. Also Refraction is used in magnifying glasses, prism and lenses
Just do energy spent divided by time to get your answer. With this we can say a human might be able to!
