A light-year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year (365.25 days). It's approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers or 5.879 trillion miles.

This conversion helps us grasp the enormous distances involved in space. Meters are too small to effectively measure interstellar or intergalactic distances.

No, 10,000 meters (or 10 kilometers) is a very small distance when compared to the vastness of space measured in light-years. It's equivalent to a tiny fraction of a light-year.

There are approximately 9,461,000,000,000,000 meters in one light-year.
