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

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 long does it take for a ray of light to reach the earth from the sun?
It takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light to travel from the sun to the Earth, which is about 93 million miles away.
How long will it be until the Earth burns up from the sun?
The Earth will not burn up from the sun. The sun will continue to expand in about 5 billion years, eventually engulfing the Earth and making it uninhabitable.
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.
Light from the sun reaches earth in 8.3 minutes The velocity of light is 3 x 10¹ meters/second How far is the earth from the sun?
it is 8 minutes and 33 seconds To reach the sun at light speed which is 1AU away appx 92-94 million miles away light travels at 186,000 miles a second. 186,000*60=11,160,000 miles a minute 92,000,000/11,160,000=8.2437 min 94,000,000/11,160,000=8.4229 min 8.2437+8.4229=16.6666/2=8.33 min is the mean time for light to reach the sun from earth or earth to the sun.

What is the variation interval?
It's called "range" in English and it is a difference between min. and max. value.
What is the difference between a amateur and professional runner?

There are 525600 min in a year
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.

What is difference between insulation resistance test and polarization index?
Insulation resistance test: This test is used to find the insulation resistance of motor for 1 min or 10 min through high voltage insulation tester. By this we can find the insulation level. Polarization index: This is the ratio between insulation resistance for 10 min to insulation resistance for 1 min.
