The question should be How Long is a light year (in standard form) as a light year is the DISTANCE that light will travel in one year
No...I'm not sure what a light year would be in a leap year.
one billion light years = 5.87849981 × 1021 miles
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. In one day light travels 16,081,407,123 miles.
A light-year is a measure of distance, not time as many people mistakenly believe. One light-year is the distance light can travel in one year in the vacuum of space. One light-year equates to 5.8785 trillion miles.
One Light Year is equal to 9454254955488 Kms
$192.31 per hour (based on a standard 5-day, 40-hour work week).
s as in sd for standard deviation or se for standard error; std as in standard (year or class) in school; possibly others.
A light year is much larger. 1 light year = 63,240 Astronomical Units
A light year is much bigger, an AU is only about 8 light minutes.1 light year = 63,240 AU
No, light year per hour is not a standard measure of speed. A light year is a measure of distance, not time. It represents the distance that light travels in one year.
A light year is a unit of distance; it is the distance lght travel in one year which is 5.8 trillion miles.
A light year is commonly thought of as time, like a year. Really, it is a measure of distance. It is how far light can travel in a year, which is about 6 trillion miles.
No, a light year is actually much larger than an astronomical unit (AU). One light year is the distance that light travels in one year, roughly 9.46 trillion kilometers. One AU is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, about 150 million kilometers.
A light year is the distance covered by light in a year. So a light year is greatest when the speed of light is greatest: that is, in vacuum. However, since much of outer space is near vacuum, a light year is near enough a constant measure.
A light-year is the distance light travels in a year. This is 9.5 x 1012 kilometers, which can also be written as 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers.
To file your income taxes this year, you will likely use Form 1040, the standard individual income tax return form used by most taxpayers.
No, a comet cannot travel a light year in one second. A light year is the distance light travels in one year, which is about 9.5 trillion kilometers. Comets typically travel at much slower speeds, so it would take a comet significantly longer than one second to cover that distance.
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!
