Answer:

6.6×10^-7 light years

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the distance 6.2 million km converted to light years.

Light years

A million km is 10^9 meters, or 1 Gm.

A light year is 9460730.4725808 Gm. So, the number of light years in 6.2 Gm is ...

(6.2 Gm)/(9460730.4725808 Gm/ly) ≈ 6.5534×10^-7 ly

Keeping 2 significant figures, we have ...

6.2 million km ≈ 6.6×10^-7 light years

__

Additional comment

That's roughly 20.7 light-seconds.
