A lightyear is the distance that light travels in one year, approximately 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion kilometers). The circumference of the Earth is about 24,901 miles (40,075 kilometers). Therefore, a lightyear can go around the world roughly 235 million times, since 5.88 trillion divided by 24,901 equals approximately 235 million.
