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.
Kiloparsecs A kiloparsec (kpc) is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure astronomical distances. One kiloparsec is equivalent to 3,262 light-years or approximately 3.086 × 10^16 meters.
The kiloparsec is defined as one thousand parsecs, where one parsec is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
Kiloparsecs are used to measure large distances between celestial objects, such as the size of galaxies or the distance between galactic structures. They provide a convenient scale for expressing vast distances in the universe.
