A light year, also light-year, abbreviated ly, is the distance light travels in one year. 3.26 light years make up a parsec, which was a unit of distance that was important in locating star systems in the known galaxy. Since the Galactic Standard Calendar used a year of 368 days, the length of a Galactic Standard Light Year would have been 9,531,961,160,601,600 meters.

- One light year (abbreviated ly) was a unit of measurement used for establishing distance from one location to another in space. The length of this unit was standardized by the UFP Standards Measurement Bureau. Other spacefaring species, such as the Sheliak, had their own unit of distance. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" ; TNG: "The Ensigns of Command" )
- One light year is the distance that light travels in one Earth year. It is equal to 9.4605284 x 1015 meters or 5.878499811103157 x 1012 miles. Light years are units of measurement critical to starship navigation.
- A light year is the distance that light travels in a year.
- A light-year is a unit of measurement to describe interstellar distances, equal to 9,460,730,472,580.8 kilometers, the distance a beam of light will travel in one Earth (Julian) year if left uninterrupted. It is also equal to 0.3066 pc.
- A Light Year (LY) is not a measure of time as the name suggests but of distance. When dealing with the vast distances between stars the use of kilometres are far too small to be practical. One light year is the distance light will travel through a vacuum in a year. This is approximately equal to 9.461×1015 metres (almost nine and a half trillion kilmetres). Matter cannot reach even a fraction of this speed. For travelling within the Confederation, ZTT Drive is essential, given that the length of its territory is just under 800 LY.
- A Light year can be an Astronomical term or a Metaphor.
- A light year is a unit of distance measured by the distance light travels in one Earth year. It is equal to 9.4605284 × 1015 meters.
- A light year, also light-year or lightyear, is a unit of length, equal to just under 10 trillion kilometres. The light-year is often used to measure distances to stars and other distances on a galactic scale. Most Stargates are at least a light year apart. The Ancient vessel Destiny is several billion light years away from Earth. (SGU: "Air, Part 1")

- A Light year is the distance that light travels in one year. Light travels 186,000 miles per second or just under 300,000 kilometres per second and nothing can travel faster. That means by the standards of the Earth and the Solar System light can travel very far in a year.

That means by the standards of the Earth and the Solar System light can travel very far in a year. The nearest star to the Solar System is just over 4 light years away. Light takes just over 4 years to travel from Earth to Proxima Centauri. The whole Milky Way Galaxy is about 100,000 light years across. The nearest large galaxy is the Andromeda galaxy and that is about 2 million light years away. Most other galaxies are millions or billions of light years away.
