About Light-year (ly)
The distance light travels in one Julian year -- approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers -- the light-year is the standard unit for expressing interstellar distances. Proxima Centauri, the nearest star beyond the Sun, lies about 4.24 light-years away. Despite its name, the light-year measures distance, not time.
About Micrometer (µm)
One millionth of a meter, the micrometer (or micron) is essential in semiconductor manufacturing, biology, and materials science. Human red blood cells measure about 7 micrometers across, and chip fabrication processes are named by their transistor gate length in micrometers or nanometers.
