One light-year is the distance light travels in one year, which is about 5.88 trillion miles. Light doesn't orbit the Earth, but if you're asking how long it takes light to travel around the Earth's circumference once, at the speed of light (about 186,282 miles per second), it would take only about 0.13 seconds.

How far in kilometers will a star travel if it takes 37 light years to reach earth?

The star won't normally "travel the 37 light-years to Earth". 37 light-years would most likely be the distance from the star to Earth; it takes light from the star 37 years to reach us. Please note that a light-year is a unit of distance; it is NOT a unit of time. To convert from light-years to kilometers, multiply the number of light-years by 9.5 x 1012.
