Since light travels at the speed of 299,792,458 m/s, in order to find the distance of a light year (the distance light travels in one year) you must solve the following mathematical equation: 299,792,458 x 60^2(60 squared)x 24 x 365. I believe the answer is 9,444,794,155,488,000 meters. 9,444,794,155,488 kilometers. 9,444 terameters (Tera= one trillion).
