About Thou (th)
One thousandth of an inch (25.4 micrometers), the thou -- also called a mil in North America -- is used in precision engineering, wire gauge measurement, and plastic film thickness. Circuit board copper foil, paint coatings, and automotive clearances are commonly specified in thou for sub-millimeter precision in imperial contexts.
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.
