It really is an incredibly long distance -- a lightyear is roughly 6 trillion miles or nearly 10 trillion kilometers. Here's how you calculate it. You start with the speed of light, which is about 186,000 miles per second. Then you multiply that by 3,600 seconds in an hour. Then you multiply that by 24 hours in a day.
a light year is a unit of distance it is the distance that light can travel in one year light moves at a velocity of about 300000 kilometers km each second so in one year it can travel about 10 trillion km more p recisely one light year is equal to 9500000000000 kilometers
