    After reading your question, I went and looked on line for a definition of 'light year',

    since its getting late and I didn't feel like calculating it.

    The definition I found is: 1 light year = 9.4605284 x 10¹⁵ meters

    OK. 1 trillion = 1 x 10¹².

    Also, 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters,

    so 1 trillion kilometers = 1 x 10¹⁵ meters.

    And we're ready now to find the number you want.

    33.11 x 10¹⁵ meters / 9.4605284 x 10¹⁵ meters = 3.5 light years
