Light-year

"Wait until we're in the Falcon, a few light years away from here."

―Han Solo, to Leia Organa

The light-year (also spelled "light year") was a unit of distance used in astronomy. It corresponded to the distance that light traveled in a standard year, which was approximately 9.5 trillion kilometers.
