A light year is the *distance* light travels in a year. A year itself is a unit of time. So... Not the same thing.

No.
Years measure time but light years measure distance.
A year is about 356 days
A light year is about 6 trillion miles.
-
Light Years are a measure of distance.
-
Light years is not a measure of age rather its a measure of the distance light travels in 1 year.if u say 20 light years that is a measure of distance light has traveled in that time
-
Nope, a year is a unit of time - the period it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun once. A light year is the distance that light travels in one year.
-
Oh dear. A light year is the distance light travels in a year. It is a measure of distance, not of time. Of course, you could say that they were some fraction of a ly tall.
-
A year is a time span measuring 365.25 days.
A light year measures distance, 5,879e+12 miles to be exact. What that number means is not important anyways because it is more than the human brain can understand anyways.
-
NO not the same thing. 20 light years is how FAR you would travel if you could travel at the speed of light.
-
No, a lightyear is a measurement of distance, not time. (Like miles or kilometeres.) It is defined by the distance that light can travel in one earth year. One light year is 5,879,000,000,000 miles.

No.
a YEAR ios a meaereu of TIME.
a LIGHT YEAR is a measure of DISTANCE.
What YOU said is like someone saying. "I'll be feet old on my next birthday!"
