Distance between stars and planets
Explanation:
The distance between Astronomical bodies is very large. Kilometers will be insufficient to express such large distances. So the distance between Astronomical bodies are expressed using Astronomical units such as a parsec or light years. One parsec is about 30 trillion kilometers and light year is about 10 trillion kilometers. One light year refers to the distance traveled by light in one year.
