megaparsec [Mpc]
Definition: A megaparsec is a unit of length equal to one million parsecs.
Historyandorigin: It is used in astronomy to describe extremely large distances.
CurrentUse: It is used in cosmology to measure the distances between galaxies and galaxy clusters.
funfact: The prefix 'mega-' comes from the Greek word 'megas,' meaning 'great.'
light year [ly]
Definition: A light year is the distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum, approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers.
Historyandorigin: The concept of the light year was introduced in the early 20th century to describe astronomical distances.
CurrentUse: It is used in astronomy to measure the vast distances between stars and galaxies.
funfact: A light year is not a measure of time but of distance.
