The distance of one light year, in light years, is exactly 1.
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles. A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles.
Solar year is a measurement of distance instead of time. It is the distance that light travels in one year.
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).
A 'light-year' is a distance calculated by how far light can travel in one standard year. A 'light-minute' is how far light can travel in one minute. Earth is about 8 light-minutes (93,000,000 miles) from the Sun. 14 light-years in space is going to be about 84 trillion miles, a huuuuge distance!
No. A light year is the distance light travels in a year. By comparison, the sun is about 8 light minutes from Earth. This distance from Earth to the sun is called 1 astronomical unit or 1 AU.
1 Light Year
1 Light Year
No, 200 years does not equal 1 light year. A light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is about 5.88 trillion miles. A year is a unit of time, so they are not directly comparable in terms of distance.
The distance of one light year, in light years, is exactly 1.
A light-year is a unit of distance, not quantity. It represents the distance that light travels in one year, which is about 9.46 trillion kilometers.
LIGHT-YEAR (noun)The noun LIGHT-YEAR has 1 sense: 1. the distance that light travels in a vacuum in 1 year; 5.88 trillion miles or 9.46 trillion kilometersFamiliarity information: LIGHT-YEAR used as a noun is very rare.
To travel 1 light-year in distance, it would take exactly 1 year when traveling at the speed of light. This is because light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second, so 1 light-year represents the distance light can travel in one year.
A light year is a measure of distance. A light year is about 9,460,000,000,000 km, the distance light travels in a vacuum in one Earth year. It has nothing to do with weeks, months, days, etc. or any other of our calendar measurements of time.
The light-year is the distance light travels in a year. Since this sometimes causes confusion, please note that a light-year is a unit of distance; NOT a unit of time. A light-year is approximately 9.5 x 1012 kilometers. (A light-year is defined to be exactly 9,460,730,472,580,800 metres.)
Yes, 1 light year (ly) is significantly larger than 1 astronomical unit (au). 1 ly is the distance that light travels in one year, approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers, while 1 au is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, about 149.6 million kilometers.
1 light year equalls distance travelled by light in one year which equalls velocity of light * 1 year( 365.25 * 24(hour) * 60 * 60 ) which equalls value 9.467 * 10 power 15m.
