Convert From Astronomical Unit To Light Year
Astronomical Unit
Astronomical unit - historically established unit of measurement of distances in astronomy. Initially, it was assumed to be equal to the semi-major axis of the Earth’s orbit, which in astronomy is considered the average distance from the Earth to the Sun.
Light Year
A light year is the distance that light travels in one year (365 days).
To see how far is that, multiply the number of seconds per year by the number of miles or kilometers that light travels in one second. It's about 5.88 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km).

Astronomy is a science about the Universe that studies the location, movement, structure, origin and development of celestial bodies and systems. In particular, astronomy studies the Sun and other stars, planets of the solar system and their satellites, exoplanets, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, interplanetary matter, interstellar matter, pulsars, black holes, nebulae, galaxies and their clusters, quasars and much more.
