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 Nautical Mile (nmi)

Equal to exactly 1,852 meters, the nautical mile corresponds to one minute of latitude along any meridian, making it inherently tied to Earth's geometry. Maritime and aviation navigation rely on nautical miles because they simplify calculations on nautical charts where one degree of latitude equals 60 nautical miles.
