1 light year (ly) is the distance light travels in one year. It is approximately 9,460,730,472,580 km
The other commonly used astronomical measurement is the parsec.
1 parsec (pc) is the distance at which 1 arcsecond measures 1 AU. It is approximately 3.26156 ly or 30856740079724 km.
1 arcsecond is 1/60 of a arcminute.
1 arcsecond is 1/60 of a degree.
1 degree is 1/360 of a circle.
