Project 2.8

Instructions

Light travels at 3 × 108 meters per second. A light-year is the distance a light beam travels in one year.

Write a program that calculates and displays the value of a light-year.

Useful facts:

• Seconds in a year = 365×24×60²
• Rate = 3×10⁸ meters per second

Below is an example of the correct output format:

Light travels X meters in a year.
