Total Questions: 5

1 - Distance between star and planet is measured in -----?

A ) Astronomical Year ✅
B ) Astrong
C ) Light Year
D ) None of these

2 - Light Year is the unit of ----?

A ) Ampere
B ) Distance ✅
C ) Pascal
D ) None of these

Explanation:

Light year is a unit of distance, not time

Explanation:

  • ✅ A light year is the distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum.
  • ✅ Light travels at about 300,000 kilometers per second, so:
  • 1 light year ≈ 9.46 trillion kilometers (9.46 × 10¹² km)
  • Or ≈ 5.88 trillion miles
  • Light year = unit of distance
  • Julian year = unit of time

A light-year is a unit of distance, specifically used in astronomy to measure vast distances between celestial objects. It represents the distance that light travels in one Julian year (365.25 days) in a vacuum.

4 - One Astronomical Unit (AU) is approximately equal to ------:

A ) 93 million miles
B ) 1 light Year
C ) 1 billion kilometers
D ) 150 million kilometers ✅

5 - The light Year mainly used to measure distance to ------:

A ) Star and galaxies ✅
