What is the similarities of light-year and leap year?
They are very different. Years are divisible by 4 are leap years, though if they are divisible by 100 and are not divisible by 400, then they are not leap years. A light year is a measurement of distance, not time. It is the distance that light travels in a year. It is about six trillion miles or nine trillion kilometres.
Which of the is not a unit of time leap year or light year?
A light-year is a unit of distance, not a unit of time.
What are similarities between leap year and light year?
Both contain the word "year," but are otherwise unrelated. A light year is a unit of distance, while a leap year is a correction to a unit of time.
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.
On 1st January 1996 at 000000 AM a ray of light was fired into space.Find the distance in meters that the light would have traveled from the point of firing on 31st December 1996 at 115959PM?
Given 366 days in 1996 (leap year) 24 hours in a day, 60 min in an hour, 60 seconds in a min speed of light = 300,000 km per second ((366 * 24 * 60 * 60) - 1) * 300000000 = 9.4867197e15
A grey kangaroo can leap a distance of 10 on horizontal ground.What is the minimum takeoff speed for such a leap?
the answer is 9.9 m/s
What is refer by light year?
A light year is the distance which light will travel in a vacuum. Light travels at 299,792,458 m/s in a vacuum, one year is 31557600s (on average taking into account leap years) so 1 light year is 9.46073x10^15m or 9 460 730 473 000 km
Is there such thing as a leap lightyear?
Please note that a light-year is a unit of length, not a unit of time. It is the distance light travels in a year. An average value for the year is used for this purpose; thus, no distinction is made between normal and leap years. The average value, in the official definition of the light-year, is a so-called Julian year; from the Wikipedia: "In astronomy, a Julian year (symbol: a) is a unit of measurement of time defined as exactly 365.25 days of 86,400 SI seconds each."
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.
How many meters can the gibbon jump?
A gibbon can typically jump up to 8 meters in distance in a single leap.
The rabbit's longest jump is its?
The rabbit's longest jump can be up to 9 feet in distance in one leap.
How to calculate one light year?
You measure distance. The earth orbits the sun. The orbit has a radius of 93 million miles and a diameter of 186 million miles. At both sides of the orbit, a telescope measures the angle between the earth and a star. Astronomers then use Trigonometry to calculate the distance between the earth and the star. They have the diameter of 186 million miles and two angles. After they calculate the distance, they know the distance of a particular star. Since people tend to get lost looking at a page full of zeroes, they divide the giant number by another giant number, the distance light travels in a year. They were able to find the distance to a few Cepheid variables. They discovered their brightness varies with their distance. For stars beyond the distance they can measure using trigonometry, they use nearby Cepheid variables.
