A light year is much larger.
1 light year = 63,240 Astronomical Units

An astronomical unit is not larger than a light year. A light years is considered to be approximately 62,000 times larger than an astronomical unit.
A light year is larger than an astronomical unit.
No, an astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between Earth and the Sun, approximately 93 million miles. In comparison, a light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is about 5.88 trillion miles. Therefore, a light year is significantly larger than an astronomical unit.
A light year is larger than an astronomical unit. One astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 93 million miles. A light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is about 5.88 trillion miles.
A lightyear is a much larger distance.
One Light-year is 63,024 Astronomical units.
"Lightyear" is a noun. It is a unit of distance used to measure interstellar space.

An Astronomical Unit, or AU is the distance from the sun to the Earth. One Astronomical Unit is 92 955 887.6 miles.
Earth is one astronomical unit away from the sun.
For small distances, e.g. Earth to Moon, scientists use miles of kilometers. For larger distances, e.g. the orbit diameter of Jupiter, they use the "AU" or Astronomical Unit, which is the distance from the Sun to Earth. For enormous distances, astronomers use the lightyear, which, although it sounds like a time unit, is truly a distance unit. A lightyear is the distance light travels in one year, or 5.87849981 × 1012 miles. Another unit for large distances is the Parsec, which is 3.26 lightyears.
