Speed =  \frac{Distance}{Time}

⇒ Distance= Speed× Time

In this case, speed =2.99× 10^8 m/s

Time= 1 year= 365 days= 365× 86400 seconds

⇒ 31536000 seconds

∴DIstance= 2.99× 10^8× 31536000

⇒ 9.429264e+15 metres


This distance is known as 1 light year and is used very freqently in cosmology. This came in common because it make it a lot easier to measure distances as long as they are in the case of cosmology.


sidhu909: that like my cool dear bro :) love you
nkbhardwaj003: I don't know what to say. So, I'll better be quiet. ....
sidhu909: hahhahahahahahahahahaha. don't worry bro i m 100% male. and a father of a husband boy
