"What fraction of a light year is this number?"

About 70% of the speed of light (186,000 mph).

In other news... what website do I go to and get signed up to be called a 'scientist'? Or is that a certificate I can order from Amazon?

The speed of light is 186,000 Miles Per Second. So…its a lot slower.
