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.
Parsecs A parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used in astronomy. One parsec is approximately 3.26 light-years or 3.086 × 10¹³ kilometers.
The term parsec comes from "parallax of one arcsecond." It is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
Parsecs are commonly used to measure large distances between astronomical objects outside our solar system, such as between stars or galaxies.
