Answered by PalaAdithyan

Answer:

The distance traveled by light in one year is called one light year.

1 light year = 9.46 × 10¹⁵

Answered by topwriters

One light year = 9.461 * 10^15 metres

Explanation:

A light year (symbol: ly) is the distance travelled by light travels through empty space in the period of one year. Speed of light is about 300,000 km per second. So light can travel nearly 10 trillion kilometers in a year. So a light year is equal to nearly 6 trillion miles.

So, one light year = 9.461 * 10^15 metres
