I have the answer to your first question.
I do not know 100% if this is right, but I looked up how many kilometers were in a light year, and I multiplied that by 262 and got 2384.172, so it is 2384.172 kilometers away. I apologize that I do not know the answer to the second part, but I hope I helped just a little!
Have a good day! :)
