Based on the information in the question, a light year is the distance traveled light in one year. Then if the light from the star Centauri takes 4.2 years to reach the earth, then its distance from earth is 4.2 light years.
Closed
Explanation:
A physical system that is isolated from its environment is said to be a closed system.
In a closed system, energy can be exchange but matter cannot be exchanged.
- A closed system sightly permits the only certain types of exchange.
- These systems are usually used to control and limit the impact of the environment on a system.
- Experiments can be conducted on the premises of any the interactions.

Convection, because it is the process of heat transfer from one location to the next by the movement of fluids. The moving fluid carries energy within it.
A transverse wave is a wave where the particles in the medium move perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the source or its propagation (think of a snake slithering through grass) an example of a transverse wave could be a light wave. Light waves for instance don’t need a medium in order to propagate but transverse waves in general do need a medium.
