Answer:

Proxima Centauri is 2.478 x 10¹³ miles from Sun.

Explanation:

 Distance of Proxima Centauri to sun = 4.24 light years

 1 light year = 5.9 x 10¹² miles.

 Distance of Proxima Centauri to sun in miles = Distance in light years x 5.9 x 10¹² miles

 So, Distance of Proxima Centauri to sun in miles = 4.2 x 5.9 x 10¹² miles

                                                                               = 2.478 x 10¹³ miles

  So Proxima Centauri is 2.478 x 10¹³ miles from Sun.
