How many Astronomical units are there in one light year?
Given Data:
1 Astronomical unit `=1.496xx10^(11)m`
1 light year `=9.46xx10^(15)m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(11y)/(1AU)=(9.46xx10^(15))/(1.496xx10^(11))=(9.46xx10^(15)xx10^(-11))/1.496`
`=(9.46xx10^(4))/1.496=6.32xx10^(4)AU`
In `6.32xx10^(4)AU` are present in one light year.
