A light year is the distance light travels in one year and is a measure of distance or length. It equates to about 5.9 trillion miles.
"Lightyear" is a noun. It is a unit of distance used to measure interstellar space.
Roughly 5,868,700,000,000 miles. (rounded)
The distance between stars is typically measured in light years, which represents the distance that light can travel in one year. This unit is used because distances in space are vast and need a large unit of measurement.
Buzz's full name is Buzz Lightyear.
For small distances, e.g. Earth to Moon, scientists use miles of kilometers. For larger distances, e.g. the orbit diameter of Jupiter, they use the "AU" or Astronomical Unit, which is the distance from the Sun to Earth. For enormous distances, astronomers use the lightyear, which, although it sounds like a time unit, is truly a distance unit. A lightyear is the distance light travels in one year, or 5.87849981 × 1012 miles. Another unit for large distances is the Parsec, which is 3.26 lightyears.
A lightyear is a much larger distance.
A lightyear is the distance that light can travel in one year.

Yes.
Because the definition of a lightyear is: how long light can travel in a year. Hope this helped;)
Lightyear isn't about time, it's distance. One lightyear is ten trillion kilometers.
buzz lightyear (FTW!)
Please note that a light-year is a distance. As far as I know, the square root of a distance is not something that makes sense physically - in other words, you can express it mathematically, but it's not a unit used in practice.

Light can travel about 6 trillion miles in a year, so that distance is called a light-year.
A light year is the distance that light will travel in a vacuum in a year. Nothing can travel that distance in an hour so a lightyear per hour is a meaningless concept of speed. Though impossible to attain, it is a measure of speed while a kilometre is a measure of distance. There is no direct relationship between the two.
Buzz Lightyear is named after Buzz Aldrin, the second person to walk on the moon, reflecting the character's space-themed persona as a heroic space ranger. The name "Lightyear" emphasizes the character's connection to space travel, referencing the unit of distance used in astronomy. Together, the name evokes themes of adventure and exploration in a futuristic setting.
