What is the unit for measurement of light?
You cannot 'measure' light. However, there is the light-year, a measurement of the distance light can travel in one year. there are many. Lumens, cadlepower, foot candles and candelas. There are probably a few more.
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.
How long is 1 light year?
A light-year is not a measure of time, but of distance: 5.87 x 1012 miles. The distance light could travel in one year. ______________________________________________________________________ one revolution of planet earth: one year. the question this should be is: how long is a light year- that answer i do not know A light year is a unit of distance equal to 5,865,696,000,000 miles
Does light year denote distance on earth?
No. A light year measures such large distances that it would be highly impractical to measure anything on Earth. The light year is used to measure distance in space beyond the solar system.
How many Earth years equals .2 light years?
Light-years are not a measure of time. Light-years are a measure of distance, the distance that light travels in a year. This measurement is used to measure the distance between stellar objects like galaxies, stars, and sometimes planets.
Why do astronomers use light year to measure time in space?
They don't. Light years are a distance measurement, not a time measurement.
What measurement would you use to measure a large distance?
Light year is used to measure the stellar distances whereas miles and km is used to measure distance on Earth.
How would you measure the speed of the tectonic plates if you measure it per year?

What does a light year measure and what is its measurement?
A light year is a meausre if distance: the distance that light - or any other electromagnetic radiation - would travel in vacuum over a period of one year.1 light year (ly) = 9.46073*10^15 metres (approx 5.9 trillion miles).

How far away are light years?
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.
How do you work out how much you have used something in a year?
The most direct method is: -- Measure and write down the amount of it that you have at the beginning of the year. -- Measure and write down the amount of it that you have at the end of the year. -- Subtract the second measurement from the first one. The difference in the two numbers is the amount that has been used, sold, stolen, or evaporated during the year.
What is an light year?
The light year is used to measure distances that are greater than our solar system. It is the next form of measurement above the Au, or astronomical unit, or the distance between the Earth and and the sun. It is normally used to measure distances between stars or galaxies. The light year is equivalent to 5,878,625,373,183.61 miles or 9,460,730,472,580.81 km. See the related link for more information.
