you may have been trying, however, you were wrong...not the kind of education i'm used to...

[blackhatknight]

I feel i'm right and that's my opinion you feel i'm wrong and thats yours, your entitled to that, it's painfully obvious as you haven't even commented on the topic you have no interest in saying anything constructive here

ok...you said: "distance light will travel in year"

so a summary of what you said would be that a light year would be distance per year, which is distance divided by unit time, which is speed

so a light year, by your reckoning, is a unit of speed

hmmm...

I think its obvious at this point that your both wrong.

We all know Lightyear is not distance or time, hes a character in toy story.

So shut up both of you giving out wrong eduction and all.

lol, your absolutely right, to infinity and beyond

lol two kiddies fighting here, is that right? I am sure blackhatknight knows what he meant and so do you 3rdgennoob

Light year sure is only the measure of distance and not time.


Secondly, that doesnt mean it meant distance per year

From our early prechildhood days we remember
distance = speed * time

Distance = speed of light * one year

186 000 miles/sec x 60 sec/min x 60 min/hr x 24 hr/day x 365 days/yr
or
300 000 kilometres/sec x 60 sec/min x 60 min/hr x 24 hr/day x 365 days/yr

good one noname12, but couldnt resist to point this out
