-What units should be used for distances between [[star system]]s and [[galaxy|galaxies]]? These are measured in [[light years]] (ly) in popular news and educational media; professional astronomers use [[parsecs]] (pc). Articles currently use a variety of units (some only ly and some ly converted to km) but most commonly use ly converted to pc in infoboxes (often automatically from technical data). If conversion to SI units (like kilometers) is not required in certain contexts, this would be added as an explicit exception to [[MOS:CONVERSIONS]]. The maximum distance in the observable [[universe]] is under 100 billion light-years, and interplanetary distances (inside a star system) are a fraction of a light-year and are measured in [[astronomical unit]]s (AU or au). 01:40, 28 July 2024 (UTC)}}
