Calculation
Inches
Inches are a unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems, defined as 1/12 of a foot. They are commonly used for measuring shorter lengths, such as the height of a person or the dimensions of a book. The inch has historical roots dating back to early English measurement standards.
Lightyears
A light-year is a unit of astronomical distance, and it represents the distance that light travels in one year through the vacuum of space. Light travels at a speed of approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second) in a vacuum. The light-year is commonly used in astronomy to measure distances on a cosmic scale because of the vast distances involved in space. For example, the distance to nearby stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects is often expressed in terms of light-years due to the impracticality of using more familiar units like kilometers or miles for such immense distances.
