Light travel in vacuum for approximately 300,000 km/second.
Hence, the speed of light in:
1 second= 300,000 km/second
1 minute= 18 000,000 km/minute
1 hour= 1.080 x 109 km/hour
1 day= 2.592 x 1010 km/day
1 year= 9.461 x 1012 km/year
The unit that measures the greatest distance is a light-year, which represents the distance that light travels in one year. This unit is frequently used in astronomy to measure vast distances between celestial objects.
The metre (meter in the USA) is the base unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to the distance light travels in a vacuum in a time interval of 1/299792458 of a second.
"Light-year" is NOT a unit of time. It is a unit of length or distance - the distance light travels in a year.
The distance light travels in one year is called a light-year. To get the number 9,470,000,000,000, the unit used is the kilometer.
Light years: the distance that light travels in a year.
No. A light year is a unit of distance, not time. It is the distance light travels in a year.
The unit of measurement is the "light year".
This is an impossible conversion to make. A hour is a unit of time. A light year is a unit of distance, specifically, it is the distance light travels in a year.

A unit that is commonly used in astronomy is the light-year - the distance light travels in a year.
A light-minute is the distance light travels in a vacuum in one minute's time. The distance of a light-minute is 11,176,943.8 miles or 17,987,547.5 km
Light years is a measure for distance, the distance light travels in one year. For the light to travel 587 light years, it takes 587 years.
