well it depends on what you are measuring your 'much' in. First thing is, a light year is a distance not a time. It is defined as the distance light would travel in the time of one human year. Now to define this:
light travels at ~300000000ms-1 and there are 31536000s in one year, so light will travel:
300000000*31536000 = 9.5x1015 metres in one year (that is 95 followed by 14 zeros! so a long distance)
so in 9.7 light years light will travel 9.2x1016 metres. Which is a very very long distance.
About 4.2 light years
AU and light-years are simply two different units of length, used in astronomy. The units are of different sizes. You can invent lots of other differences if you like, but basically, that's the difference - their size. Other differences might include how they are defined; and in what cases they are typically used.
One meter is about 0.000,000,000,000,000,105,7 light-years.Calculation: As a light-year is 9,460,730,472,580,800 meters, one meter equals 1/9,460,528,400,000,000 light-years = 1.057,000,834,024,615,4 × 10-16 light-years - or about 105.7 atto-light-years.
The sun is not light years away but light minutes and the sun is 8 (rounded) light minutes away from us. But if you really want to know how far away the sun is from us in light years it is 0.000015 of a light year away from us.
Light years are a measure of distance, not time. This is a common mistake. As calendar years are a measure of time and light years measure distance, it is impossible to compare the two.
A star that is 970 light years away from the Earth is ten times more distant from the Earth than one at 97 light years distant. At a light speed of 300,000,000 metres per second, that's a long way in anyone's language. Yes, that's three hundred million metres per second.
97 more years
69 light years
yea not that much 97 years old pepl but there is some of pepl in skool the r 97 or 98 or 100 yearz old:) and they r crazy
The '97 Geo Metro (Base, LSi or XFi) does not have a fuel light.
Traveling 40 light years would take 40 years at the speed of light.
No it does not, atleast not the 97 SS
2 billion years.
No, the Milky Way is much larger than 200 light years in diameter. It is estimated to be about 100,000-120,000 light years in diameter.
97 years
Much less than one light year. 5 billion miles is "only" about 0.000850557142 light years.
97!!!!!
