Light Year

A light year is the distance light travels in vacuum in one Julian year.

History: The light year became a readable way to express distances between stars and galaxies.

Current use: Light years are used in astronomy, science education, and popular explanations of cosmic distance.

Also written as ly, lightyear, lightyears, light years.

Micrometer

A micrometer is one millionth of a meter.

History: Micrometers became practical with precision optics, microscopy, and industrial measurement.

Current use: Micrometers are used in biology, materials science, machining tolerances, and semiconductor work.

Also written as um, micrometers, micrometre, micrometres, micron, microns.
