They are very different. Years are divisible by 4 are leap years, though if they are divisible by 100 and are not divisible by 400, then they are not leap years. A light year is a measurement of distance, not time. It is the distance that light travels in a year. It is about six trillion miles or nine trillion kilometres.

"Light year" is the distance that light travels in one year.
