What If We STOPPED Using Light-Years? #shorts

The Omega Nebula is 5,000 light-years from Earth, but what if we just spoke in actual miles.

One light-year is the number of miles light travels in one year - almost 6 trillion miles. That would make the Omega Nebula 30 Quadrillion miles away.

Our Milky Way Galaxy would be 600 Quadrillion miles wide.

The Andromeda Galaxy would be 15 Quintillion miles away.

And the observable universe which is about 93 billion light-years across, would be 558 Sextillion miles wide.
