This is the distance between Earth and 55 Cancri e.
55 Cancri e is the planet with a thick atmosphere discovered by space researchers.

The really exciting news about 55 Cancri e is that it is a mere 375.3 trillion kilometres from Earth and would take so long that I can not calculate it.

It's approx 699516 yr...not hard to calculate at all.
 
Approximately 698,339 years. On the other hand, if it was traveling at the speed of light, it would take only 39.66 years.

Your figure was approximately the figure I came up with in one of my attempts.
Mine was around 720,000 years.

So I got somewhere close in my calculation.
I am left wanting when it comes to these sort of calculations.
