Light-years
The light-year is a unit of astronomical distance equal to the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year (365.25 days), approximately 9.461 × 10¹⁵ metres. Despite containing the word "year," it is strictly a unit of distance, not time. The nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, is approximately 4.37 light-years away, while the observable universe extends approximately 46 billion light-years in every direction.
Yards
The yard is a unit of length equal to exactly 0.9144 metres, or three feet, standardised under the international yard and pound agreement of 1959. The yard is the standard unit for field dimensions in American football and is used in golf, cricket, and textile measurement.
