About these units
Centimeters (cm)
A centimeter is one hundredth of a meter, roughly the width of a fingernail. It is the everyday metric unit for body measurements and small objects; one inch is exactly 2.54 cm.
Light Years (ly)
A light-year is the distance light travels through a vacuum in one Julian year, about 9.461 trillion kilometers. Despite the name it measures distance, not time, and is used for stars and galaxies.
