Detailed explanation-1: -Light-year is the distance light travels in one year. Light zips through interstellar space at 186, 000 miles (300, 000 kilometers) per second and 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion kilometers) per year.
Detailed explanation-2: -A light-year is a measurement of distance and not time (as the name might imply). A light-year is the distance a beam of light travels in a single Earth year, which equates to approximately 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers).
Detailed explanation-3: -In light-years, the Sun is 0.00001581 light-years away, while in light minutes, the Sun is 8.20 light minutes away, or 500 light-seconds away from Earth. If we were to speak in meters, then the Sun would be 150.4 billion meters away from Earth.
