This is really just an expansion on Alfred's answer (which is entirely correct :-).
In most cases the only element in the stress-energy tensor that matters is the energy density, and for a body that can be treated as point-like this is the mass + the energy. You add the contribution of the energy by dividing it by $c^2$ according to Einstein's famous ...

I guess what i am trying to ask, is there any relation between energy
and gravity?
Indeed, the relation between energy and gravity is the core of General Relativity.
From the Wiki article Stress-energy tensor:
The stress–energy tensor (sometimes stress–energy–momentum tensor) is
a tensor quantity in physics that describes the density and flux ...

Another way is the triple-right triangle:
You move in a straight line for a long enough distance
Turn right 90° degrees, walk in that same direction for the same distance
Turn again to the right 90° degrees and walk again the same distance
After this you'll end up at the starting point. This is not possible on a flat surface since you'd just be "drawing" ...

You've got the right idea, but, as pointed out in the comments, you've punched in the number for light years incorrectly. One light year is $9.461\times10^{15}$ meters. Also, you might not be converting km/s into m/s. Remember, all the units for a given dimension must be the same.
Since you can look up this number, I don't think I'm giving anything away ...
