Understand that a light year is a unit of distance, not time.
Recall that light travels at a constant speed in a vacuum, approximately \(3 \times 10^{8}\) meters per second.
Recognize that one year is a measure of time, specifically the time it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun, about 365.25 days.
Combine these concepts: a light year is the distance light travels in the span of one year.
Therefore, the best description of a light year is the distance that light travels in one year.
