Answer: 81,362,880,000,000 kilometres
Explanation:
A Light year refers to the distance that light travels in a year.
Light travels at a rate of 300,000 km/s.
This means that in a year it travels;
= 300,000 * 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 365 days
= 9,460,800,000,000 km in a year
Sirius A is therefore;
= 9,460,800,000,000 * 8.6
= 81,362,880,000,000 kilometres from Earth.
