A light-second is the distance light travels in one second, or 7.5 times the distance around Earthâs equator. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year. How far is that? Multiply the number of seconds in one year by the number of miles or kilometers that light travels in one second, and there you have it: one light-year. Itâs about 5.88 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km).
They both have the same licensing requirements required by the State(s) in which they transact business, but the big difference is who they work for. An insurance agent is an insurance companyâs representative and the agentâs primary alliance is with the insurance carrier (company), not the insurance buyer.
While an insurance agent is employed by, and represents, a particular insurance company, an insurance broker is a representative of the insured only. An insurance agent is bound by company rules and responsibilities, whereas an insurance broker's only duty is to aid a client. He or she owes no obligation to any company.he client is considered the principal and the broker acts as the client's agent. An agent's powers generally extend beyond those of a broker. A distinguishing feature between an agent and a broker is that a broker acts as a middleperson.
