About these units
Meters (m)
The meter is the SI base unit of length, defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. All other metric lengths are decimal multiples of it.
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.
