One light year away is equal to:
9,461,000,000,000 kilometers
9,461,000,000,000,000 meters
5,879,000,000,000 miles
We are a light-year away from our destination.The newly discovered, earth-like planet is a light-year away from us.
The undiscovered planet lay a light-year away from the swirling Milky Way galaxy.
A light-year is the distance light travels in a year. It is about 9.5 x 1015 meters.
The sun is not light years away but light minutes and the sun is 8 (rounded) light minutes away from us. But if you really want to know how far away the sun is from us in light years it is 0.000015 of a light year away from us.
A light year is a measure of how far light can travel in one year. It is a phenomenal distance, and is used to describe how far away stars are from us.
The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 Million Light year away.
8 million years. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year.
Light from a star 431 light years away takes 431 years to reach Earth. This is because a light year is defined as the distance that light travels in one year. Therefore, if a star is 431 light years away, the light we see from it today actually left the star 431 years ago.
A light year is a distance, or the total distance a ray of light can travel in 1 year (light travels at 300,000,000m per second) to be accurate. When Venus is closest to earth, it is about 38 million kilometres away (0.000004017 light years). When Venus is furthest from earth, it is about 261 million kilometres away (0.000027588 light years).
The moon is about 1.278 light-seconds from Earth.Converting that figure to the equivalent fraction of a year, I get0.000 000 040 486 light-year (rounded)
A light year is a measurement of distance. It is the distance that light travels in a year. It usually measure the distance of things in space. One light year is about 5,869,713,600,000 miles or about 9,445,950,434,502 kilometres.
No it is not. Mercury is closer than a light year away.=======================================Pluto ... and anything closer to the sun than Pluto is ... is never more than about 400 light minutes from Earth.From here to the sun is about 81/3 light minutes.
