The light year is a unit of distance, used in connection with the distribution
of astronomical objects throught space.
It's defined as the distance traveled by light through vacuum in one year,
and when rounded, is roughly equal to 5,878,600,000,000 miles.
The distance to the nearest star outside the solar system is about 4.3 light years.
What else can I help you with?
Which unit of measurement represents the distance light travels in one year light-year or parsec?
"light-year"
who can anser me The distance light travels in a year is called?
The distance light travels in a year is called light-year
How many second in a light year?
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles. A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles.
How long is a light year what does a light year describe?
A light-year is the distance light can travel in one year. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. Multiply that by 3600 seconds in an hour and then by 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year and you will get the distance in one light-year.A light year is defined as 9,460,730,472,580,800 meters exactly, derivedfrom the distance that light travels in vacuum in one Julian year.
What is the definition of the light year?
The light-year is the distance light travels in a year. Since this sometimes causes confusion, please note that a light-year is a unit of distance; NOT a unit of time. A light-year is approximately 9.5 x 1012 kilometers. (A light-year is defined to be exactly 9,460,730,472,580,800 metres.)
Does a calendar year equal a light year?
No. A light year is a unit of distance, not time. It is the distance light travels in a year.
What is the longest light year?
A light-year is a measure of distance that a photon of light will travel in one year .
How much is 1 light year in standard form?
The question should be How Long is a light year (in standard form) as a light year is the DISTANCE that light will travel in one year No...I'm not sure what a light year would be in a leap year.
Are light-years stars?
No. A light-year is a measurement. A light year is a distance measurement based on how far light travels in a year.
Which unit of measurement represents the distance light travels in one year?
light-year
How many normal years are there in one light year?
Only one. Because Light year is a messure of distance not of time. Light year is the distance travelled by light in one year.
How long does it take for light to travel a distance of one light year?
Light travels a distance of one light year in one year.
