  • Question
  • One light year is approximately equal to


  • Options
  • A. 10^12 mts
  • B. 10^16 mts
  • C. 10^11 mts
  • D. 10^13 mts

  • Correct Answer
  • 10^16 mts 

    Explanation

    Light year is the unit of to express astronomical distances, that light can travel in one year. Light moves at a velocity of about 300,000 kilometers (km) each second. So in one year, it can travel about 10 trillion km. More precisely, one light-year is equal to 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers.

     

    Approximately, 1 light year = 10^16 mts.
