2.998 x 10^8 m / s x 60 s / m x 60 m /h x 24 h /d x 365 d / year Multiply those numbers to get m/year
So you multiply those numbers in order to cancel out the seconds, right?
yes, to change from seconds to years
Alright :) Thanks! What about hte other two? :[
Take your new answer and divide by 1.5 x 10^8 to get how many AU's in a light year.
