When I want to measure a distance in space.
A light year is the distance that light travels in a year. We use it because it allows us to measure huge distances.
A light year is not a physical object; rather, it is the distance light travels in a year.
The opposite of light would be dark, or heavy. There is no antonym for 'year'.
We're just one light year from home, now.
if you are going the speed of light, it would take 1 year.
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.
No, when it is not in use, the microwave would not have a light on. Why would you want the light on when you are not using it and waste energy?
You don't use it, it is a unit of measurement.
You don't use it, it is a unit of measurement.
We are a light-year away from our destination.The newly discovered, earth-like planet is a light-year away from us.
When talking about the distances that separate stars and galaxies. A light years is the distance that light travels in one year.
Because, if we continued to measure the distances between star in miles, the numbers would be huge. One light-year is approximately equal to 5,865,696,000,000 miles !
