It gets it name because it is the distance that light travels in one Earth year.
The "Light" comes from the speed that light travels 186.282.4 miles per second so a light year is the distance light travels in a year which is 5.88 trillion miles i think hope this helps.
A light year is the distance light travels in a year - about 9.5 x 1012 km.
Why would battery light come on then go off
A "light year" is a measure of distance, derived from "how far light can travel in one Earth year". Thus, if you shine a torch for the amount of time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun exactly once, that light would have travelled the distance of a "light year".
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. It is the distance light travels in a year.
"Light-year" is NOT a unit of time. It is a unit of length or distance - the distance light travels in a year.
1909
August 19th 1987 Coors light came out.
The year, make and model info would help.
Depending on the year, make and model, yes.
Scientists don't measure the distance light travels in one year. They calculate it by measuring the speed of light. The speed is 300,000,000 meters/sec. and can be measured in the laboratory with a rotating mirror apparatus. To get the distance traveled by light in one year you multiply the speed (above) by the number of seconds in a year. The answer will come out in meters and is also called one light year.
"light-year"
A light-year is a measure of distance that a photon of light will travel in one year .
What year is your car? Did you mean the CHECK ENGINE light? The battery gauge?
The distance light travels in a year is called light-year
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles. A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles.
A light year is how far light will travel in a vacuum in one single year(Julian) The Value of a light year is, 9,460,730,472,580.8Km.
A light-year is the distance light can travel in one year. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. Multiply that by 3600 seconds in an hour and then by 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year and you will get the distance in one light-year.A light year is defined as 9,460,730,472,580,800 meters exactly, derivedfrom the distance that light travels in vacuum in one Julian year.
