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.
kilometer, AU (astronomical unit), light year, parsec.
A light year is a unit of length equal to just under 10 trillion kilometres.

The standard unit of length is the meter, and any multiple and submultiple such as kilometer and millimeter. Nonstandard units include foot, inch, mile, light-year, parsec, astronomical unit.
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.
The distance light would travel in one year in a perfect vacuum is a light year. It's a subtle distinction, but an important one.
