Why is the distance of a star measured in light years?
Because the unit is sufficiently large for the figures to be managably small. Which would be easier to work with, "The distance to Rigil Kent is 4.3 light-years" or "The distance of Rigil Kent is 40,000,000,000,000,000 meters"?Here's an easy way to remember how big a light-year is: If the distance from the Earth to the Sun was just one inch (2.54 cm), a light-year would be one mile (1.6 km).
