In it's circumference around the equator.
maybe around .000000001?
i know its not even near 1.

i don't know off the top of my head, but you can figure it out.
c = 3x10^8 m/s
Multiply c by 1 year (converting seconds to years)
Look up the radius of the earth in meters.
Divide the earth's radius by the light year. It will be teeny, tiny. The earth is less than a light second. The whole way to the moon is on the order of a second I think.

Diameter:
12,756.3 kilometers = 1.34837077 × 10-9 lightyears
Circumference at the Equator
12756.3 kilometers * π = 4.23603172 × 10-9 lightyears

Well, if scientists got the age of the earth wrong, doesn't it seem possible that they have "light years" wrong also? It does to me.

Earth is about 25,000 miles around the equator. I calculate 0.000000004 light years for that.

Considering people have been around it and back, its not very big in light years...

Whether your guesstimate is accurate or not, it's sure in the ballpark. God Bless you.
