ANSWER Additional Info: one light year measures about six trillion miles. 8-x ANSWER A bunch. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year, and at 186,000 miles per second, a L-Y is a pretty long way. Since the earth is about 24,000 miles around at it's fattest point, light can, if it wanted to, go around the earth ONE time in...let's see...24000 miles divided by 186000 per second...carry the one...just under 1/10 of a second, if my mental math is right, and it's probably off a bit...so, since there are how many seconds in a year?..show of hands...?? right, 1,892,160,000 - and light can go 186,000 miles in ONE second, 1,892,160,000 times 186,000 is....a bunch... ANSWER One light-year equals to 9 460 730 472 580.8 kilometers or 5 878 625 373 183.6 miles. The length of Earth´s equator is 40 075 kilometers or 24 901.5 miles. Dividing one by the other we will have aproximately 236 075 151 times around the Earth at the equator to cover one light-year length. Definitely ... a bunch...
No - a light year is a unit of distance - not time so you can't convert.
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
A light-year is the distance light travels in a year. Therefore, if a certain star is "x" light-years from Earth, then it takes light "x" years to get fromthe star to us. Or the other way round.
light travels 5,878,630,000,000 miles in a year.
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
One light year is equivalent to about 5,878,400,000,000 miles on earth.
Light years is a measure of distance, not of time; it is the distance that light travels in one year.
No - a light year is a unit of distance - not time so you can't convert.
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.
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
A light-year is the distance light travels in a year. Therefore, if a certain star is "x" light-years from Earth, then it takes light "x" years to get fromthe star to us. Or the other way round.
you cant light years refer to the distance light can travel in 1 year 1 Light Year = 5878625373183.61 Miles
It's exactly 7 light years away.One light year is the distance that light travels through space in one year.7 of those is a distance of something like 41,150,289,900,000 miles.
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!
the earth has light every day except in Alaska it has 205 days every year now if you talkin about how many days the earth has light left we in all facts we have about 100 million years left
One light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is approximately 5.88 trillion miles. Therefore, to travel a distance equivalent to 2.5 Earth years, you would need to travel about 2.5 light years, which is roughly 14.7 trillion miles.
