A light year is how far light travels in a year. A light min is how far light travels in a minute.
light speed is 186000 mile/sec, at this speed you have to calculate how far it would travel in one year or one minute

How long does it take for a ray of light to reach the earth from the sun?
8 min.
How long will it be until the Earth burns up from the sun?
approx. 3 min. Acually that's wrong it will take 8 or 9 min. Because it takes light from the sun 8 or maybe 9 min. to get to Earth.
Are there 365 day 5 hr 48 min 45 sec?
If you mean in a year then that's about the length of time in a year and that's why we have an extra day each leap year.
How far is Earth from Mars in Earth minutes?
Minutes are a unit of time, not of distance. Perhaps you mean LIGHT minutes, which refer to the distance light travels in a minute. Earth is 1 AU from the sun, which takes light about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. Mars is about 1.5 AU, so when earth and Mars are on the same side of the sun, the distance between them is 0.5 AU. Light would take four minutes, 10 seconds to cross that gap. When Mars and Earth are on opposite sides of the sun, the distance between them is 2.5 AU, which would take light nearly 21 minutes to cross. On average, Earth and Mars would be at roughly right angles to the sun, so you could use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the distance of their hypotenuse: About 1.8 AU. I'll leave the conversion of this into light time as an exercise for the gentle reader.
What is the name of the nearest star to Earth?
The Sun is nearest star to Earth. Its light takes about 8 min. 20.33 sec. to reach to Earth. Its mine the distance of the Sun is near about 150 million km.

What is one light year unit?
It is the distance light travels (in a vacuum) in one year. 1 ly = (299,792,458 m/s)(60 s/min)(60 min/hr)(24 hr/day)(365.25 day/year) = N m/year This can be solved for N which is the number of meters light can travel in a vacuum (space) over the course of one year. <<>> The international definition of a light year uses a Julian year as the basis for the calculation, which is exactly 365¼ days, making the distance 9.46073047 times 10 to the power 15 metres.
Difference between observation and prediction?
Prediction: What you think (or claim to think) before the experiment. Observations: What you saw happen.
