The given statement is flase. The distance from earth to the sun is used to measure distances in the solar system and is not called a light year,but an astronomical unit.
When represented in miles and kilometers, the distances between the planets, and especially between the stars, can grow to be cumbersome. We thus transition to whole different sorts of units for cosmic distances, such as astronomical units, light years, and parsecs.
The average distance between Earth and the Sun, or 93 million miles or 8.5 light-minutes, is measured in astronomical units (AU). A light-year is the approximate 6-trillion-mile distance that light travels in a year in a vacuum. Approximately 64,500 times longer than an AU is a light-year.
The Light Year is perfect for determining distances to faraway galaxies or stars, but it is ineffective when determining distances inside our solar system. A light may travel around 10 trillion kilometers, or 106 Km, in a single year.
