1 LY = 9.46089 x 1012 Km = 9.46089 x 1017 centimeters
Alpha Centuri is roughly 4.1626325x1018 centimeters from the Sun. The distance from the Earth varies depending on where we are in our orbit..
No. The distance from the Earth to the Sun is 8 light-minutes.It takes light 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to the Earth, in other words.The distance that light can travel in one year is one light-year.
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.
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
The distance from Earth is about 6,500 light years (2000 parsecs).
The distance to a star located 100 light years away from Earth is 100 light years.
Light years is a measure of distance, not of time; it is the distance that light travels in one year.
Laser light.
The average distance between Earth and the Moon is about 384,400 km. One light year is the distance light travels in one year, approximately 9.46 trillion km. So, the smallest distance is from Earth to the Moon.
In spite of its name, a light year does not indicate time, but it indicates distance! It actually equates to the distance that light travels in one Earth year, which is a very big distance, seeing that light travels at 186,000 miles per second.
The distance to the farthest visible star from Earth is about 9,000 light-years.
a distance of 1.58 × 10-5 light-years).
