What is the speed of light year kilometer per hour?

"Light-year" is not a speed, it is a distance - the distance light travels in a year.The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second. If you multiply that by 3600 (seconds/hour), you get the speed in km/hour.


Light travel 300 000 kilometer per second one light year is equal to the distance that light travel in a year at the rate of 000 km per second find how many kilometer light travel in one minute?

The information about a light-year is not relevant to answer this particular question. To find out how far light goes (in a vacuum) in any specific time, simply multiply 300,000 (km/second) by the number of seconds.
