A light year is a VERY LARGE NUMBER of miles, in either statute miles or in nautical miles. (A nautical mile is about 1.15 statute miles.) You can calculate it in either way, but the number will be enormous.
one light year = 5.87849981 × 10^12 miles
one light year = 5.10827668 × 10^12 nautical miles
