What helps to show light rays travel in straight lines?
To remember this think of you are looking directly at a building a car crash happens behind this building. You know this from the sound produced that can travel in all directions past the building. You cannot see it because as light dose not bend under normal circumstances and will only travel in straight lines. Even if reflected using a combination of mirrors it still travels in straight lines.

A light year, is the distance that you would travel in one year if you were traveling at light speed. It is equal to about 6 trillion miles and 9 trillion kilometers.
