you cant light years refer to the distance light can travel in 1 year
1 Light Year = 5878625373183.61 Miles
Well traveling at the speed of light would take 4 minutes, so if you want to convert that to years...have fun :)
The Earth is 8.3 light-MINUTES(0.0000152207001522070015220700152207 light years) from the Sun.
The Alpha Centauri star system is the nearest to the earth, and it actually consists of 3 stars locked together in a gravitational arrangement. They are about 4.3 light years from the earth.
120,000 light-years (1.2 times larger than the Milky Way).
170,000 light-years (1.7 times larger than the Milky Way).
30,000 light-years (3 times smaller than the Milky Way).
From Wiki:126 ± 3 ly(38.8 ± 0.8 pc)
In the movie "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", E.T. is from a planet located 3 million light years away from Earth.
Its way less than 1 lightyear, so it's not counted in lightyears. Its about 3 light minutes depending on orbit
On average, about 2-3% of the sunlight that reaches the Earth is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis. This energy is used by plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which fuels their growth and development.
3 years. To convert from months to years, divide by 12.
Any unit of length can be used; for example the official unit of length, which is the meter. However, to avoid having to write large numbers, the following three units are often used in astronomy: (1) The astronomical unit, the average distance between Earth and the Sun. Used mostly for measurements within the Solar System. (2) The light-year; the distance light travels in a year. Approximately 9.5 x 1015 meters. (3) The parsec. A star at this distance would appear to have a parallax of one arc-second. Equal to approximately 3.26 light-years.
