A light year is the distance light travels in one year: approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers or 5.879 trillion miles. It's used to measure vast cosmic distances. The nearest star to Earth (Proxima Centauri) is about 4.24 light years away.
A parsec (3.26 light years) is based on stellar parallax measurement—the distance at which 1 AU subtends 1 arcsecond. Astronomers prefer parsecs for precision; light years are more intuitive for the public.
One AU is the average distance from Earth to the Sun: exactly 149,597,870.7 kilometers or about 93 million miles. Mars is about 1.5 AU from the Sun; Jupiter is about 5.2 AU.
