The distance light can travel in one year. It is used by astronomers. It is calculated by this formula. Good luck. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. A light year is:

186,000 miles per second x 60 seconds in a minute x 60 minutes in an hour x 24 hours in a day x 365 days in a year

186,000x60x60x24x365=

It is a unit of measurement of speed based on light.
