Light Year Calculation


Light Year

A Unit of distance for expressing Astronomical distance.
It is the distance traveled by light in one year.
We know that
\[Velocity = \frac{Distance}{Time}\]

\[c=\frac{d}{t}\]
\[d= {c}.{t}\]
Where \[c= 3X10^{8}. meter/sec\] 
           \[t = 365 days X 24 hours X 60 minutes X 60 seconds\]
⇒  \[d=3X10^{8}X365 days X 24 hours X 60 minutes X 60 seconds\]
\[d = 9.68 X10^{15}. meter\]
\[d = 9.68 X 10^{12}. Kilometer\]
