No. A light year is a measure of distance, not time; it is the distance that light travels in a year. So a cubic light year is a measure of volume, rather like a cubic foot or cubic meeter only much larger.

How many picoliters are in a cubic light year?

A light year is approximately 9.46 x 1012 km, so a cubic light year is 8.47 x 1038 km3, or 8.47 x 1047 m3. It takes 1015 pico liters to make a cubic meter. So cubic light year is equal to 8.47 x 1047x 1015 = 8.47 x 1062 picoliters. Or 847,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000 picoliters = 1 cubic light year.
