22. State Standards Answers to state standards
4c) Know how to use astronomical units and light years as measures of distances between the Sun, stars, and Earth.
A light year is the distance light would travel in one Earth year.

23. State Standards
Light year: A unit of distance, not time. The distance light travels in 1 year: about 10 trillion kilometers (6 trillion miles).
Speed of light 300,000km/second or 186,000 miles per second

25. Measuring distant objects - Parallax
By measuring the parallax angle ‘p’, the distance of the star from Earth can be calculated. Maximum measure is 400 light years
