A light-year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year (365.25 days).
Light travels at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second.
This is because a light-year is an extremely vast distance, encompassing trillions of kilometers. 50,000 kilometers is a very small fraction of that immense scale.
This conversion is primarily used in astronomy and astrophysics to discuss distances to stars and galaxies, where kilometers are too small a unit to be practical.
