A light-year is a unit of distance, not a unit of time.
The light-year is the distance light travels in a year. Since this sometimes causes confusion, please note that a light-year is a unit of distance; NOT a unit of time. A light-year is approximately 9.5 x 1012 kilometers. (A light-year is defined to be exactly 9,460,730,472,580,800 metres.)
A light year, which stands the distance light travels in a year's time, is roughly 1E16 m.
No - a light year is a unit of distance - not time so you can't convert.
kilometer, AU (astronomical unit), light year, parsec.
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.
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.
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."
False the light year is not a unit of time it is a unit of distance true.
Both
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.
"Light-year" is NOT a unit of time. It is a unit of length or distance - the distance 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.
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.
366 light days, if you interpret leap year to be the entire year in which there is a February 29.
A light-year is a unit of distance, not a unit of time.
It is a unit of time and distance. A light year is the amount of time it takes for a beam of light to travel through space in one earth year, which is 5.9 trillion kilometers. Time : one year, distance : 5.9 trillion km.
To start off, a light year is not a unit of time, it is a unit of distance; it is the distance that light travels in a year. Jupiter has a longer orbit than Venus, regardless of what unit of time you use.
