Answer:

Unlike the speed of your car when running errands, the speed of light is constant throughout the universe and is known to high precision. ... To find the distance of a light-year, you multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year (8,766). The result: One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles (9.5 trillion km).
