A light year is a measure of distance, or the distance a particle of light will travel through a pure vacuum in one Earth year.

One light-year is equal to 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers. A light year is the distance covered by light in one year travelling at 186,000 miles per second.
It is so fast that light can travel about seven times around Earth in one second!! Thatâs about light. What is a light year then? Light Year is the distance that light can travel in one year. Considering that light can travel about 300,000 kilometers (km) each second, in one year, it can travel 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers. Phew! It would be easier to say that one light year is about 10 trillion km.
