Example 1:How far in meters does light travel in one year?
Solution: 299,792,458m x 31,557,600s
=9.461 x 10 to the power of15
Question, while i understand the above, why can we not calculate as;
1s= 299,792,458 m
1m = above x60
1hr = above x60
1dy= above x60
1yr = above x365
why do we have to convert them into similar units?
Aren''t the number of seconds contained within a yr same as those in a day , min ?
