About Meter (m)
The meter is the fundamental SI unit of length, defined since 2019 by fixing the speed of light at exactly 299,792,458 m/s. Originally conceived during the French Revolution as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole, the meter is used worldwide in science, engineering, and daily life.
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.
