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 Nanometer (nm)
One billionth of a meter, the nanometer is the scale of atoms, molecules, and modern semiconductor nodes. Visible light wavelengths range from about 380 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red), and cutting-edge processors use transistor gates measured in single-digit nanometers.
