Hi, how much is 1 light year in human years? thanks!
A light year is NOT a measurement of time (despite the use of the word 'year' in the name). A light - year is the distace light travels in 1 year light travels as 186,000 miles / sec so in 1 year it travels. or about 5,878,625,373,183.61 miles
A light year is a measurement of distance, not time. It is how far light in a vacuum would travel in one solar year.Klaus' figure is too big, since he does not know the precise length of a solar year.
Klaus is right, contrary to another opinion. A light year is measured specifically as the distance light travels in one JULIAN year. However, professional astronomers prefer the term parsec, which is scientifically more verifiable. One light year then equals about 0.3066 parsecs.
I am right now in a class called space systems and if i do recall it was 4.3 million earth years
