Nautical League


A nautical league is a unit of distance once used at sea, mainly by sailors and navigators. It equals 3 nautical miles, which is about 5.56 kilometers or 3.45 miles. Nautical leagues were used to measure longer distances during voyages before modern navigation tools became common. While the nautical mile is still widely used today in maritime and aviation navigation, the nautical league is mostly obsolete and rarely used.


Light Year


A light year is a unit of distance used in astronomy to measure how far light travels in one year. Light moves extremely fastβ€”about 299,792 kilometers per secondβ€”so in one year, it travels roughly 9.46 trillion kilometers (or about 5.88 trillion miles). Light years help scientists express the huge distances between stars and galaxies. For example, the nearest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri, is about 4.24 light years away. The term β€œlight year” can be confusing because it sounds like a measure of time, but it actually measures distance.
