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.

Nanometer

A nanometer is one billionth of a meter.

History: Nanometers became widely used as science and manufacturing began describing atomic-scale structures.

Current use: Nanometers are common in wavelengths, chip manufacturing, nanotechnology, and molecular measurements.

Also written as nm, nanometers, nanometre, nanometres.
