how far u can travel at the speed of light in a year
Distance
No. A light year is a measure of distance. It is the distance light travels in a year.
Not really. A light year is a measure of distance. It is the distance light can travel in one earth year, about 6 trillion miles
Distance
Because that's how it is defined. A light-year is the distance that light travels in a year.
'Light-year' is a unit of a distance. It is the distance for light to travel one year. So it is a great distance.
"Light year" is a unit of length or distance, equivalent to roughly 5,878,600,000,000 miles. (rounded)
A light year is a unit of distance, not a physical quantity. It represents the distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum.
A light year
because the stars are very far away so the astronomers use light years
It's calculated, not measured. It's the speed of light ... 299,792,458 meters per second ... multiplied by the number of seconds in a standard year.
The electricity used by a Lightbuldb is measured in "Watts", the output of the Light (i.e. the Light) is measured in "Candela".
