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.
Definition and details for point (TeX):
TeX point (pt) is a unit of length used in the TeX computer typesetting system by Donald Knuth. It is based on the "Johnson pica" which was adopted as the official standard in 1986 by the Fifteenth Meeting of the Type Founders Association of the United States. TeX point is about 351.5 micrometers. Today it's been replaced by the current computer based DTP point system.
