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
Yes. Unlike Earth years, a light year is measured in distance not time.
False the light year is not a unit of time it is a unit of distance true.
Distance (metres) = velocity (metres / sec) * time (seconds) > velocity of light = 299 792 458 metres per second 1 year = 365.2425 days = 31 556 952 seconds > Distance = 9 460 536 207 068 020 metres Distance = 9.46054 * 1015 metres approx.
A light year is a unit of length used in Astronomy to define distance. One light year is equal to just under 6 trillion miles.
A light year is the distance light travels in one year and is a measure of distance or length. It equates to about 5.9 trillion miles.
-- The distance that light travels in some amount of time is expressed in units of distance. -- The time that it takes light to cover some amount of distance is expressed in units of time. -- The speed of light is expressed in units of speed . . . distance/time
Distance
No. A light year is a measure of distance. It is the distance light travels in a year.
Because that's how it is defined. A light-year is the distance that light travels in a year.
Distance
'Light-year' is a unit of a distance. It is the distance for light to travel one year. So it is a great distance.
A light year
"Light year" is a unit of length or distance, equivalent to roughly 5,878,600,000,000 miles. (rounded)

Stars are not measured in light years. The distance between them is.
