A light-year is defined as the distance the light can cover in one year.

The light travels at speed of c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s, and one year converted into seconds is
1 y = 365  \frac{d}{y} \cdot 24  \frac{h}{d} \cdot  60 \frac{m}{h} \cdot 60  \frac{s}{m}=3.15 \cdot 10^7 s

So the distance covered by the light in one year is
S=vt =(3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)(3.15 \cdot 10^7 s)=9.45 \cdot 10^{15} m
And this is the distance that corresponds to one light-year.
