The unit of measurement for light is typically the lumen, which quantifies the total amount of visible light emitted by a source. For light pollution specifically, measurements are often expressed in terms of lux, which measures illuminance and indicates how much light is received per unit area. Additionally, the unit "nits" can be used to describe luminance, which refers to the brightness of a surface as perceived by the human eye.
The unit of measurement is the "light year".
A candela is a unit of measurement for light sources and light emissions. Light beams projects different color at different wavelengths, and a candela is used to measure the intensity of the light.

You cannot 'measure' light. However, there is the light-year, a measurement of the distance light can travel in one year. there are many. Lumens, cadlepower, foot candles and candelas. There are probably a few more.
You don't use it, it is a unit of measurement.

The unit of metric measurement most useful for light microscopy is the micrometer (μm), which is one-thousandth of a millimeter. This unit allows for precise measurements of objects that can be visualized under a light microscope.
light-year
usually lights are measured in lumens
False. Decibel is a unit of measurement used to express the intensity of sound, not pollution. It measures the level of sound pressure. Pollution is typically measured in terms of air quality indices, concentration of pollutants, or other specific measurements depending on the type of pollution being measured.
diopter
The unit of measurement used to measure distances between galaxies is typically the light-year, which is the distance that light travels in one year. This unit is used because of the vast distances involved in intergalactic space.
