Light-year is a physical measurement related to Universe Issues, and it comprises huge distances across the Universe. People's years is a measurement related to the lifespan, not only for humans but also for all living creatures. The difference is that People years is a measure only related to life, while light-years is not.

The point is that a light year is a measure of distance NOT time. It does get

people confused sometimes. It's how far light goes in a year.
