A light year is a measure of distance. It is the distance light travels in a vacuum in one year. Light travels at 186282 miles per second(iirc) so take that number and multiply it by how many seconds are in a year and you have the distance in miles light would have traveld in one year.

Edit: too many per seconds….not enough hoes.
