A light-year is the total distance that light can travel in 1 year.
Since, We know the speed of light (c) in vacuum= 299792458 metres per second
And, there are 365.25 days in an year, or t= (365.25*24*60*60) seconds
Hence a light-year (d)=c*t
=299792458Ă—365.25Ă—24Ă—60Ă—60 metres
=9,460,730,472,580,800 metres
