A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year.

Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, or 300,000 km per second.

There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 365.26 days in a year. Just multiply all those numbers together.
Distance. It is the distance light travels in a year.
