A light-year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year (365.25 days). It's a unit of astronomical distance.

50,000 meters is equal to 50 kilometers or about 31 miles. It's a common distance for road trips or running marathons.

This conversion shows the immense scale of space. A light-year is a massive distance, so everyday measurements like 50,000 meters are practically zero when compared to it.

While direct practical uses are rare for such a tiny fraction, it's valuable for educational purposes to grasp the vastness of the universe and the extreme difference in scales between terrestrial and astronomical measurements.
