Will Harry be able to face his 7th year at Hogwarts without his friend? I don't know if I can wait another two and a half years to find out!

Here's a math challenge with some really big numbers, based on information from the newly discovered planet, temporarily named 2003UB313.
Light takes approximately 12 hours to get from the sun to planet 2003UB313, which was first photographed on October 31, 2003. They didn't detect its movement until January 8, 2005. This newly discovered planet has a very large and off-center orbit. Right now it is almost 10 billion miles from the sun!
The closest star (besides our sun) to our solar system is a three star system called Alpha Centauri, made up of the stars Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B and Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is the closes and is 4.22 light years away from our sun. A light year is the number of miles light will travel in one year.
Based on all the information I've given, how many miles can light travel in one year? And how many miles would I walk if I went on a hike with my Boy Scout troop from our sun to Proxima Centauri?
Problem 1: A = 4 , B = 2, C = 8, D = 5, E = 7
Problem 2: This is a very famous series of numbers called the Fibanachi Series. Each number in the series comes from adding together the two numbers in front of it. So the next number would be 89 (34 + 55).
