Lightyears A light-year is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure vast distances. One light-year is equivalent to approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers or about 5.879 trillion miles.
A light-year is defined by the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, which is about 9.461 × 10^12 kilometers.
Light-years are used to measure distances between stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects. They provide a convenient way to express astronomical distances, making it easier to understand the scale of the universe.
Meters A meter (m) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One meter is equivalent to approximately 3.2808 feet.
The meter is defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds.
Meters are used worldwide to measure length and distance in various fields, including science, engineering, and everyday life. Most countries have adopted the meter as the standard unit of measurement for length.
