Angstrom (Å or A) is a unit of length, equal to 0.1 nanometer or 10-10 meter. This unit was named Angstrom to honor the Swedish physicist Anders Jon Ångström (1814-1874) and is used to measure the wave length of light waves.
Definition and details for light year:
Light year (ly) is a unit of distance used by astronomers. One light year is defined from the International Astronomical Union as the distance that light travels in one Julian year (365.25 days) through a vacuum. The defined light speed is c = 299,792,458 m/sec. So one light year equals exactly 9 460 730 472 580 800 meters.
