MCQ Questions for Class 8 Physics Stars And The Solar System Quiz 8

What is the value of one light year?

0%
${9.4 \times 10^{12} km }$
0%
${9.46 \times 10 ^{10}km}$
0%
${9.46 \times 10 ^ {14} km}$
0%
${9.46\times 10 ^ 8 km}$

Explanation

We know speed of light is

$300000km/s$

And One year=

$365\times 24\times 60\times 60 =31536000s$

And one light year is defined as distance travelled by light in one year.

So One Light year=

$300000km/s\times 31536000=9.46 \times 10^{12}km$
