"Light year" is a distance. It's defined as the distance light travels in one year,
through vacuum.
That's a huge distance compared to the daily experience of human beings ... about
5,874,600,000,000,000 miles, or more than 31 thousand round trips to the sun and back.
It's used in discussion of the distances between objects in space, and it actually
turns out to be not a so large a unit at all. The nearest star outside of our solar
system is about 4.2 light years distant from us, and the nearest galaxy outside of
our Milky Way is about 2.5 million light years distant from us.

It depends on the circumstances. My four, nearly five, year old understood the concept, but this was where a parent was involved. Yet my seven year old nephew did not understand and to this day still doesn't.

I also know that at three years a child will definitely not understand as the chances are they still don't understand death as meaning someone is gone.
