True or false a light year is measured in distance?
False the light year is not a unit of time it is a unit of distance true.
What is the value of one light year?
Distance (metres) = velocity (metres / sec) * time (seconds) > velocity of light = 299 792 458 metres per second 1 year = 365.2425 days = 31 556 952 seconds > Distance = 9 460 536 207 068 020 metres Distance = 9.46054 * 1015 metres approx.

How is the distance of the sun from earth measured?
light years.
What is the value of one light year?
Distance (metres) = velocity (metres / sec) * time (seconds) > velocity of light = 299 792 458 metres per second 1 year = 365.2425 days = 31 556 952 seconds > Distance = 9 460 536 207 068 020 metres Distance = 9.46054 * 1015 metres approx.
How is speed measured?
Speed is measured by calculating the distance you have gone and how long it took you to get there. speed = distance over time
