The distance light will travel in 15 years. Or about 1.42 x 1014 kilometers.
Since light takes time to travel between objects in space, observing an object that is 15 million light years away means we are seeing the object as it was 15 million years ago. This is because the light from the object has taken 15 million years to reach us, so we are essentially looking back in time when we observe distant objects in space.
Light year, the Distance travelled by light in a year. .. The general unit for distance is meters... so light travels at 300 000 000 m/s. 60 seconds in 1 minute. 60 minutes in 1 hour. 24 hours in 1 day. 365 days in a year. So 300000000 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 365 = 9.46x10^15 m.
The SI unit of length is the meter. Multiply the number of light-years by 9.5 x 1015.
Light years and parsecs. A light year is approximately 9,470,000,000,000,000 meters (9.47x10^15) and a parsec is roughly 3.26 light years

15 hundreds (1,500) in standard form is 1.5 × 103
15 million in standard form is 1.5 × 107
15 and 1 tenth is standard form is 1.51 × 101
15/15 = 1
15 cubed (or 153) in standard form is 15 x 15 x 15 which equates to 3,375.
15 light years = 1.42x10^14km
15^3
It is: 3,375
The standard form of six hundred and three-tenths (600.3) is: 6.003 × 102
