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.
Millimeters
Millimeters are a unit of length in the metric system, representing one thousandth of a meter. They are commonly used for precise measurements in fields such as engineering, manufacturing, and medicine. The metric system, which includes the millimeter, was officially adopted during the French Revolution.
