Light year, the Distance travelled by light in a year. .. The general unit for distance is meters... so light travels at 300 000 000 m/s. 60 seconds in 1 minute. 60 minutes in 1 hour. 24 hours in 1 day. 365 days in a year. So 300000000 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 365 = 9.46x10^15 m.

How far in kilometers will a star travel if it takes 37 light years to reach earth?
The star won't normally "travel the 37 light-years to Earth". 37 light-years would most likely be the distance from the star to Earth; it takes light from the star 37 years to reach us. Please note that a light-year is a unit of distance; it is NOT a unit of time. To convert from light-years to kilometers, multiply the number of light-years by 9.5 x 1012.
