A light year is a measure of distance not time. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. So for light to travel 6,300 light years, would take 6,300 years
The moon is roughly 250,000 miles and light travels at about 186,000 miles per second, so, it would take about 1.30 seconds for the moonlight to reach the earth.
a light travels to earth from the sun it takes eight minute because of the great distance. though we are looking at the sun are seeing it as it was roughly eight minutes before the current time.
No - a light year is a unit of distance - not time so you can't convert.
The Earth is (on average) 93 million miles from the Sun, and light travels at 186,000 miles per second. It's a curious coincidence tha the math on this says that light travels from the Sun to the Earth in a nice, round, 500 seconds. This is equal to 8 minutes 20 seconds.
Light years is a measure of distance, not of time; it is the distance that light travels in one year.
In spite of its name, a light year does not indicate time, but it indicates distance! It actually equates to the distance that light travels in one Earth year, which is a very big distance, seeing that light travels at 186,000 miles per second.
how many light years the earth travels around the sunNo. The Earth travels around the Sun in a measurement of time called a year, which is one revolution or trip around the sun: approximately 584,020,178 miles.A light year is a measurement of distance that light travels in one year, which is approximately 5.88 Trillion (5,880,000,000,000) miles!
I assume you are talking about distance in lightspeed. Well the distance is the same, regardless how it travels, but the time it takes for light to travel from the sun to Earth is 8.3 minutes, and it travels 93 million miles at avarage. (It varies)
Because the earth relies on the light from the sun. Only half of the planet can be lit at any time - due to the fact that light travels in straight lines.
This is not a proper question. A light year is not a period of time. It is the distance light travels through space in one year's time - about 5.86 trillion miles.
A light year is a measure of distance not time. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. So for light to travel 6,300 light years, would take 6,300 years

I believe it takes light from the sun about seven minutes to reach earth and moon. And light travels at 186,000 miles pre second !
Light always travels at the speed of light, although that's a different number in different substances.
A light year is actually a measure of distance. it's the distance that light travels in one earth-year. A year is a measurement of time equal to the amount of time that it takes the earth to go around the sun once.
