second. A light year is the distance the light
travels in one year. Determine the number
of miles in a light year. Answer in scientific
notation​

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of light in a vacuum is 186,282 miles per second so, 5,878,499,817,000 miles is the distance covered in 1 year

Step-by-step explanation:

as the speed is 186,282 miles per second so multiply it with 60 as 1 min is equal to 60 seconds then with 60 as 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes then multiply with 24 as 1 day is equal to 24 hours then with 365 as 1 year consists of 365 days.

186,282*60*60*24*365=5,878,499,817,000
