Earth Shaker - #AstroMeme How far is far? We often measure distances in space using astronomical units (AU) and light-years (ly) because of the superb distances. 1 Astronomical Unit (AU) - average
![A light year (ly) is a unit of distance defined as the distance light travels in one year. Numerically, 1 ly= 9 500 000 000 000 km. How many metres are in a light year?
