For most purposes, scientists will use SI units.Astronomers sometimes use astronomical units, light-years, or parsecs to express distance. The reason is that they make the distances easier to grasp.

In particle physics, a different system of units called "natural units" is often used. The reason is that it makes certain formulae simpler. For instance, the speed of light is defined to be 1 - so if an object has a speed of 0.5, it means that it is moving at half the speed of light.
