A light-year is the distance light travels in a year. "Student minute" is not a standard unit of length or distance; perhaps somebody used it to refer to how far a student walks in a minute. Please note that different students will walk at different speeds. If this is what was meant, then you have two different units of length defined as a speed multipled by a time.
What else can I help you with?

How is the student minute light years similar to the light year?
The student minute light yearas is similar to the light year because they are both light years and measure stuff in space....sorry i know this really doesn't help, but I answered the question to the best of my ability! Kaitlyn
What is the distance in light years of the sun to earth?
Less than 1 light year. Lots less. It's not a light year away, it's 8.333 light minutes away . Light travels about 5.9 trillion miles in a year, and the sun is only 93 million miles away. The speed of light is 186,000 miles/second, so light from the sun reaches the earth in 500 seconds, or 8 minutes and 20 seconds. So, the sun is about 0.0000158 light years from the earth.
The sun is 1 light year away from the earth?
Wrong!!!!! The Sun is 1 A.U. ( Astronomic Unit) from Earth. Because of the immensity of space, distances are calculated in 'A.U.' or 'Light Years'. Photons of Light from the Sun takes approximately 8 minutes to reach Earth.
Is the distance from the sun to the earth 1 light year?
No. A light year is the distance light travels in a year. By comparison, the sun is about 8 light minutes from Earth. This distance from Earth to the sun is called 1 astronomical unit or 1 AU.

Which is longer a light year or an astronomical unit?
A light year is much bigger, an AU is only about 8 light minutes.1 light year = 63,240 AU
How many light years away is your sun?
The sun is not light years away but light minutes and the sun is 8 (rounded) light minutes away from us. But if you really want to know how far away the sun is from us in light years it is 0.000015 of a light year away from us.

How many light years does it take to reach Venus from Earth not in light minutes I need light years please?
You are confused. "Light-year" is a measurement of DISTANCE, the distance that light travels in one year; it is not a time period. Venus is, depending on where Venus and Earth are in our respective orbits, between 2 and 14 light-minutes away; light would take somewhere between 2 and 14 minutes to span the distance. You can convert easily minutes into years; there are 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365.26 days in a year.
Why do scientists use light minutes and light hours instead of light years?
There are so many zeros in the value of light years when talking about a few light minutes. 1 light minute is 0.000001901 light years People do not like to talk about very small numbers and few know by heart that 1 year = 525948.766 minutes or that 1 year = 8765.81277 hours
Is Mercury a light year away from earth?
No it is not. Mercury is closer than a light year away.=======================================Pluto ... and anything closer to the sun than Pluto is ... is never more than about 400 light minutes from Earth.From here to the sun is about 81/3 light minutes.
Trivia about light?
Light travels at the speed of 186,000 miles per second. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. It takes 8 minutes for light to travel from the sun to the earth.

Is the average distance from earth to the sun a light-year?
No. The distance from the Earth to the Sun is 8 light-minutes.It takes light 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to the Earth, in other words.The distance that light can travel in one year is one light-year.
