Light years are typically used to measure astronomical distances on a large scale, such as the distance between stars, galaxies, or other celestial objects. It represents the distance that light travels in one year (about 9.46 trillion kilometers), making it suitable for measuring vast interstellar distances.
Light years
Those are all measures of length.
The distance between planets are measured in millions of kilometers while the distance between solar systems are measured in light years while the galxies and the universe are measured in AU (astronautical units)
Stellar distances are measured in light-years, which is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Pluto's orbit is not measured in light years as it is within our solar system. Pluto's average distance from the Sun is about 3.7 billion miles or 39.5 astronomical units.
Stars are not measured in light years. The distance between them is.
They are measured in light years. Galaxies are often 100,000 light years across or more.
Light Years.
Anything can be measured in light time. The moon is about 1.3 light seconds (0.0000000412 light years) from the earth. The closest star system, which includes Alpha Centauri, is 4.3 light years away.

Usually such distances are measured either in light-years, or in parsecs.
