Light year is a __________?

Question

Light year is a __________?

Answer 1

A light-year or light year (symbol: ly) is a unit of length, equal to just under ten trillion kilometres.

Answer 2

The distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, approximately 9.46 trillion (9.46 × 1012) kilometers or 5.88 trillion (5.88 × 1012) miles.

Informal. A long way. Often used in the plural: a small town light-years away from the action of the capital.

Answer 3

Distance?

Answer 4

Unit of distance. Its used for measuring the distance of objects in space.

1 light year = 3*10^8(spped of light) * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 (these are the number of seconds in a year) metres

Answer 5

Measurement of distance,generally used by the astronomers.1 light year is almost equal to 9.5 trillion K.Ms(rounded up).It is the distance that a light ray can cover in a year.  

Answer 6

Distance travelled by time in 1 year... That is;

1 light year = 9.4605284 × 1015 meters

Answer 7

Bright year probably..

weightlless year maybe....

Light the ear! GET IT??? Lite the ear!!

Answer 8

light is a distance covered by light to reach till the earth from stars.

Answer 9

distance that light can travel in one year.  

Answer 10

One light year means 5,865,696,000,000 mile, OR

9,460,800,000,000 Kilometers.

But it tralves 30 cm distance in 1second divided by 1,000,000,000.

means 000000000.1 second = 30c.m. light year

Answer 11

distance light will cover in 1 year, or approx. 9467280000000000 meters. This is approx. 5883952765692977 miles.

Answer 12

it is actually defined as the distance travelled by light in a vaccum in 1 Julian year (365.25 days each)

values

9.461E+12 km

9 460 730 472 580.8 km (9 trillion 460 billion 730 million 472 thousand 580 kilometers & 800 meters)

Answer 13

a light year is the distance traveled by light in one year...light travels 3* 10^8 m/s that's like 300000000 m/s.

Answer 14

distace travelled by light in  one year that is 3 with the power of ten meter per second 30000000000m/s.hope i helped
