∙ 12y agoA light-year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year. In astronomy, a Julian year is a unit of measurement of time defined as exactly 365.25 days.
1 ly = 5.87849981 x 1012 miles
1 ly = 9.4605284 x 1012 kilometers
You can estimate this using the speed of just under 300,000 km per second.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 365.25 days in a year. Multiply these numbers together and you will have the value 9,467,280,000,000 kilometers, which is slightly higher than the actual.

That distance is roughly 5.88 trillion miles or 9.46 trillion kilometers.
