ANSWER Additional Info: one light year measures about six trillion miles. 8-x ANSWER A bunch. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year, and at 186,000 miles per second, a L-Y is a pretty long way. Since the earth is about 24,000 miles around at it's fattest point, light can, if it wanted to, go around the earth ONE time in...let's see...24000 miles divided by 186000 per second...carry the one...just under 1/10 of a second, if my mental math is right, and it's probably off a bit...so, since there are how many seconds in a year?..show of hands...?? right, 1,892,160,000 - and light can go 186,000 miles in ONE second, 1,892,160,000 times 186,000 is....a bunch... ANSWER One light-year equals to 9 460 730 472 580.8 kilometers or 5 878 625 373 183.6 miles. The length of Earth´s equator is 40 075 kilometers or 24 901.5 miles. Dividing one by the other we will have aproximately 236 075 151 times around the Earth at the equator to cover one light-year length. Definitely ... a bunch...

∙ 11y ago1 year... If you can travel at about 186000 miles per hour.
At current propulsion technology, it would take about 18,000 years to travel one light year.
Our star, the Sun, is about 9 light minutes away. The sun light you see at any one moment is already 9 minutes old.
The next closest star to us is 4 light years away. The speed of light is about 30,000 times current spacecraft propulsion technologies. Currently, it would take about 72,000 years to make the trip to the next star system.

∙ 12y agoSorry but that is unanswerable. An Earth Year is 365 days while a light year is 5,878,625,373,183.6 Miles or 9,460,730,472,580.8 km. Your question is like asking how many minutes in a mile. That said, it takes light one earth year to travel 9,460,730,472,580.8 km as a light year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in a Julian Year (365.25 days).

∙ 12y agoNone. An "Earth year" is a length of time. A "light year" is a distance.

Is Capella is A light years away from earth how long will it take to reach earth?
A light-year is the distance light travels in a year. Therefore, if a certain star is "x" light-years from Earth, then it takes light "x" years to get fromthe star to us. Or the other way round.
What does 6300 light years equal to in earth years?
A light year is a measure of distance not time. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. So for light to travel 6,300 light years, would take 6,300 years
How many light years is Jupiter from earth?
Jupiter is about 43 light minutes from the earth on average.
Scientist recently detected a new born star 100 light years away light from this star takes how many years to reach the earth?
Well the answer is in the question. A light year is the distance it takes light to travel in one year. If something is a 100 light years away, then it will take light ..........
Is a light year measured in distance?
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
One ligh year is equal to how many years on earth?
One light year is equivalent to about 5,878,400,000,000 miles on earth.
4.3light year is equais to how many earth years?
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.
How many light years are in an earth years?
This is not a proper question. A light year is not a period of time. It is the distance light travels through space in one year's time - about 5.86 trillion miles.
Is Capella is A light years away from earth how long will it take to reach earth?
A light-year is the distance light travels in a year. Therefore, if a certain star is "x" light-years from Earth, then it takes light "x" years to get fromthe star to us. Or the other way round.
How long does it take a star's light that is 7 light years away from Earth to reach Earth?
It's exactly 7 light years away.One light year is the distance that light travels through space in one year.7 of those is a distance of something like 41,150,289,900,000 miles.
How do you convert 3 earth years into light years?
you cant light years refer to the distance light can travel in 1 year 1 Light Year = 5878625373183.61 Miles
What does 6300 light years equal to in earth years?
