A light year is much bigger, an AU is only about 8 light minutes.
1 light year = 63,240 AU
An astronomical unit is not larger than a light year. A light years is considered to be approximately 62,000 times larger than an astronomical unit.
A light year is about 63,000 times greater than an astronomical unit.
kilometer, AU (astronomical unit), light year, parsec.
No, an astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between Earth and the Sun, approximately 93 million miles. In comparison, a light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is about 5.88 trillion miles. Therefore, a light year is significantly larger than an astronomical unit.
A light year is much larger. 1 light year = 63,240 Astronomical Units
A light year is larger than an astronomical unit.
A light year is larger than an astronomical unit. One astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 93 million miles. A light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is about 5.88 trillion miles.
This statement is incorrect. An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of distance equal to the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 93 million miles. A light year, on the other hand, is the distance that light travels in one year, about 5.88 trillion miles. So, a light year is a much larger distance unit than an astronomical unit.
One Light-year is 63,024 Astronomical units.
-- the Astronomical Unit -- the Light Year -- the Parsec -- the Magnitude
The astronomical unit is the average distance from the earth to the sun, and is 149 598 000 kilometres. A light year is the distance light will travel in a year, the speed of light is just under 300 000 kilometres per second, so light travels one astronomical unit in just over eight minutes. A light year is 9.46x1012 kilometres, or 63239.67 astronomical units.
An au is an astronomical unit, or how far light will travel in a year.
