According to the International Astronomical Union, a light-year is a distance traveled by light in a vacuum in one Julian year. How many miles is one light-year?
Answer 5.88 trillion
The light-year is a unit of length used to represent astronomical distances, about 5.88 trillion miles in length (or 9.46 trillion kilometers). Because the phrase "light-year" contains the word "year," it's often misunderstood as a measure of time.
