A light-year is a unit of astronomical distance, representing the distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum. This is about 9.46 trillion kilometers or 5.88 trillion miles.

50,000 meters is equal to 50 kilometers, which is a distance you might drive between towns or cities.

Light travels at an incredibly high speed (about 300,000 kilometers per second). In one year, it covers an enormous distance, making everyday measurements like 50,000 meters seem tiny in comparison.

While the direct conversion of 50,000 meters to light-years results in a very small number (0.0000), understanding this scale helps appreciate the vastness of space that spacecraft must traverse.
