The estimated/calculated diameter of the Milky Way is approximately 100,000 light-years across. Since a light-year is about 6,000,000,000,000 (six trillion) miles (the distance light can travel from one point to another in a year), the light-year is used as a unit of astronomical distance to cut down on the ponderous number of zeros you have to use if you express such distances in miles.
