Is a light year measured in distance?
Not really. A light year is a measure of distance. It is the distance light can travel in one earth year, about 6 trillion miles
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.
What is visible light measured in?
Just like any other wave phenomenon, its frequency is measured in large multiples of Hertz (Hz), its wavelength is measured in small fractions of a meter (m), and its speed is measured in meters/second .
What units are distances to stars measured in and why?
Usually such distances are measured either in light-years, or in parsecs.

Because that's how it is defined. A light-year is the distance that light travels in a year.
Is the sun measured in light years?
'Light-year' is a unit of a distance. It is the distance for light to travel one year. So it is a great distance.

Why is star distances measured in light year?
because the stars are very far away so the astronomers use light years
How is the unit lightyear measured?
It's calculated, not measured. It's the speed of light ... 299,792,458 meters per second ... multiplied by the number of seconds in a standard year.
