Both measurements used for distance in space are LY (Light Years) and AU (Astronomical Unit)

Respectively the measurement LY measures distance in the speed of light and our cycle of 1 year orbit, so something that is 1 LY away works like this - the light takes one earth year to reach that us from that object (usually a Sun/Star) therefore if we were to travel at the speed of light it would take us one year to reach our destination

AU is measures distance by using the earth and the sun - and the basis of this is that the earth from the sun is 1 Astronomical Unit. This is mostly used to calculate distance in our own solar system, objects far out of our immediate system are measured mostly using LY

What is an M or em space?

Em space is a relative unit of measurement used in typography. Once the size of an em is established, the size every other character and other typographic units of measurement can be determined as a fraction of em. The reason why em is used is because the letter "m" is the only letter that has relatively the same width in its capital and lowercase form. There is also something called en space. En is usually about half the width of an em so if the em space is 12 points, the en space is usually about 6 points.


What is an N or en space?

An en (N) space is a common unit of measurement used in typography. Traditionally, it is defined as the width of the uppercase N used in the current typeface and point size. However, it is more properly defined as half the width of an em.
