Light Year


A light year is a unit of distance used in astronomy to measure how far light travels in one year. Light moves extremely fastβ€”about 299,792 kilometers per secondβ€”so in one year, it travels roughly 9.46 trillion kilometers (or about 5.88 trillion miles). Light years help scientists express the huge distances between stars and galaxies. For example, the nearest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri, is about 4.24 light years away. The term β€œlight year” can be confusing because it sounds like a measure of time, but it actually measures distance.
