Distances to other planets, other stars and other galaxies are very large, making measurements in meters or kilometers difficult to handle (although scientific notation can be used). As a result, astronomers have gotten accustomed to measure distance within the Solar System in astronomical units, and to other stars and galaxies, either in light-years or in parsecs.
