Approximately 4 light-years, that’s how I’ve always heard that distance described.
Now I am not sure the distance light travels in one year is easier to grasp, but at least it’s a single digit.

Our Light makes it from the giant fusion explosion to us on the mud ball in 8 minutes. And 5.5 hours to the poor butt of a joke that is Pluto. So … 4 years you say…

Actually, it takes light between 10,000 to 170,000 years to reach the surface of the sun. It bounces around in there for a long time since all the fusion actually happens in the core.
