The vast distances that occur in the Universe are beyond being measured in miles or kilometres. To make it easier to calculate distance without having to work with millions of zeros we use the speed of light. For example, given that the speed of light is 186,000 MPS [miles per second] it would take you about 9 Mins. to reach the sun, or about 9 light mins. So when we are told it would take 2 light years to get to a point in space, they mean it will take you 2 years travelling at the speed of light- 186,000 MPS.
Type your answer here... It was made in 1955...value will depend on condition and if there have been any alterations.
A light year is the distance light travels in a year - about 9.5 x 1012 km.
A "light year" is a measure of distance, derived from "how far light can travel in one Earth year". Thus, if you shine a torch for the amount of time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun exactly once, that light would have travelled the distance of a "light year".
I need to know the year and value of my light twelve gage semi auto shotgun.
A light year is a value of measurement. It's how far light can travel in a year. One light year is approx. 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers (nine trillion five hundred billion km) ======================== Definition: 1 LY = 9.4605284 x 1015 meters
A light year is a unit of distance, not time. It is the distance that light travels in one year, which is approximately 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion kilometers). This distance is often used in astronomy to describe vast distances in space.

1 light year equalls distance travelled by light in one year which equalls velocity of light * 1 year( 365.25 * 24(hour) * 60 * 60 ) which equalls value 9.467 * 10 power 15m.
An Astronomical light unit (ALU) is a term derived to compliment a light year. It was devised by Wiki supervisors to alleviate the problem of people worrying about how a measure of distance could be related to time. "How long is one light year". It does not replace a light year, merely its usage is less confusing and the values stay exactly the same.
It is from year 1959, and it's worth about $995.
No - a light year is a unit of distance - not time so you can't convert.
