Question 1081137: The Keppler telescope NASA sent into deep space to took for planets that closely resemble earth in structure and mass found one orbiting a star similar to our sun. This planet is approximately 12,000 light years away. A light year is how far light travel in one year, this how scientists measure distance in space. Light travels approximately 6,000,000,000,000 miles in one year. How many miles away is this interesting Earth-like planet scientists have discovered? Represent the answer in scientific notation.
