Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: To calculate how many seconds are in 1 year.
Suppose our year is a non-leap year.
We know there are 365 days in 1 non-leap year, there are 24 hours in 1 day, there are 60 minutes in 1 hour and every minute has 60 seconds.
So,
The number of seconds in 1 non-leap year= 1*365*24*60*60 seconds
The number of seconds in 1 non-leap year= 31,536,000 seconds
Or
The number of seconds in 1 non-leap year=3.1536x10^7 seconds
Step 2: To calculate the distance traveled by light in 1 non-leap year.
We know,
Distance traveled = speed x time
So,
The distance traveled by light in 1 non-leap year= 1.86 x 10^5 x 3.1536x10^7
The distance traveled by light in 1 non-leap year= 5.865696x10^12 miles
Similarly we can find the distance traveled by light in 1 leap year taking 366 days in an year.
