Calculation

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.

Meters

Meters are the fundamental unit of length in the metric system, defined as the distance that light travels in a vacuum during 1/299,792,458 seconds. Meters are widely used in scientific, engineering, and everyday contexts globally. The metric system, including the meter, was established during the French Revolution.
