Because that's how it is defined. A light-year is the distance that light travels in a year.


Difference between single parameter sensitivity and multiple parameter sensitivity?

Difference between single parameter sensitivity and multiple parameter sensitivity is that in multiple parameter sensitivity,defined parameters cannot be measured with a high degree of accuracy in the field or in the laboratory.

Distinguish between constant parameter and time varying parameter system?

A constant parameter is one that does not vary over time, or varies so slowly, or within a very small, allowable range, that it can be used as a constant. One such parameter is the average temperature of the universe, which is 3 Kelvin. We theorize that over time it will gradually decrease with the expansion of the universe, but in practical terms, in a period of billions of years, it is held as a constant. Diurnal light and dark cycles (day time and night time) is an example of a time varying parameter. The intensity of solar radiation, measured in a specific location, varies continuously during each day, and the length of each day varies continously through the year.


How does an indicator work to measure a specific parameter or condition?

An indicator works by changing its color or displaying a signal when it comes into contact with a specific parameter or condition. This change helps to visually show the presence or level of the parameter being measured.
