A light year - is the distance a pulse of light would travel in an earth 'year'. This equates to a distance of5,869,713,600,000 mile in a single year. Something 10,000 light years from earth would be at a distance of58,697,136,000,000,000 miles - or roughly 58,697 BILLION miles away!

How long would it take to travel 100000 light years away in our space shuttle?

The official answer... way to long! If you really want a mathematical answer lets give it a try... speed of light is 3*10^8 m/s 60 secondes per minute, 60 minutes per hour, 24 hour per day and 365 days per year: 60*60*24*365 = 31 536 000 secondes/year. 300 000 km/s * 31 536 000 s/year = 9 460 800 000 000 km/year ---> this is the distance light travels in one year. The Shuttle travels at an approximate speed of 28 000 km/h 28 000 km/h * 24 * 365 = 245 280 000 km/year 100 000 light years * 9 460 800 000 000 km = 946 080 000 000 000 000 km 946 080 000 000 000 000 / 245 280 000 = 3 857 142 857 years I hope there is an inflight movie!

Why is the distance between stars expressed in light year?

100 000 000 000 000km is equal to 1.57 lightyear. Rigel, which is the brightest star in Orion, is 777 lightyear away from earth. Is this was measured in km, it would be 7 381 500 000 000 000 km away. It only makes it easier to express the to measure the extreme distances found in space. One would not measure the distance between New York and Paris in millimeters. The final number would have far too many digits.

How far away is the galaxy from earth?

If you find a place where the sky is good and dark and you know where to look, you can see theAndromeda Galaxy in the night sky. It looks like a fuzzy patch of dim, hazy light. It's actually agalaxy of hundreds of billions of stars, completely outside of the Milky Way galaxy that we live in.The distance to the Andromeda Galaxy is usually given as a couple of million light years.That would be the answer to the above question.
