1. 200 Parsecs, 652.312 Light years 2. 8 Parsecs, 26.09248 Light years ; Use this formula, p=1/P(parallax), to solve the equation. Then multiply 3.26156 (light years per parsec) by the number of parsecs.

1. p= 1/0.005 = 200*3.26156 = 652.312

200 Parsecs, 652.312 Light years

2. p=1/0.125 = 8*3.26156 = 26.09248

8 Parsecs, 26.09248 Light years
