One Light Year
SCALE · the astronomer's mile
The famous one, and famously misunderstood: a light year is a distance, the stretch light covers in a year, nearly ten trillion kilometers. Written out the number stops meaning anything, so try this: scale the Sun down to a cherry, and one light year is still about 1,600 kilometers. And the nearest star? More than four of these.
