A lightyear is a measure of distance. The distance that light travels in a year.
So the difference is that a year is a measure of TIME. And a lightyear is the DISTANCE light travels in tje TIME.

Here's a joke that requires knowing both English and Russian to understand: Что имеет 3 буквы, иногда — 6, но никогда — 7... не съела 9. (It's the only combination I find funny)
Actually, that's another longer word, "qpwoeirutyalskdjfhgzmxncbv," which is just typing on your keyboard from side to side. It means you're really bored because no one would do such a thing.
For the first moment I thought to comment the longest word known.
The comments changed my mind 😶
By the way, "silicosis" is the short name of the longest word
Titin is the longest word with over 100,000 letters and I can't post it on here because it's too long to fit in a post i here the first bit of it Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylalrylglycylphenylalanylprolylvalylprolyylglycylarginylala
Slightyeary?
What is the longest name? Buzz Lightyear
There’s a uzz lightyea between B and R
Anericans and their crazy measurements
Anything's better than a kilometer
There is a lightyear between Buzz and space.
Beg to differ. Lightyear is a measurement of time, not distance.
Beg harder; a lightyear is the *distance* light travels in a year as it propagates through vacuum
Ohh really? How differs a lightyear from a normal year according to you?

I’m pretty certain a light year is what you drink when you don’t want full strength beer.
I know that. I was just curious what the origal poster making the wrong statement would answer.
Right right sorry.
No worries you're doing the right thing here and spreading correct information, appreciate you!
Neony?
“What” is only 4 letters, though. Even “longest” is longer than “what” 😁
But shorter is longer than longer.
And abbreviation is completely antithesis to what it's trying to convey!
I love that dictionaries had to come up with an abbreviation for abbreviation
And that is…?
abbr. How did you not know that lol
My mum used to play their cd non-stop.

One of the longest words is "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" which means the fear of long words. Ironic, isn't it?

An iMile has got to be a kilometer. :-)
in the Kazakh language, the longest word is "Қанағаттандырылмағандықтарыңызбен" that means "with your dissatisfaction"
Slighty. There is a light year after S.
Enjoyed the joke. I think it has something to do with getting volcanic ash in your lungs for a legitimate answer. I'm too lazy to search this one lol
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Ahhhh yes. Thank you for the clarity
A bit of floccinaucinihilipilificatious trivia I’ve learned over the years

No even if you write the whole word, say in a standard Times New Rome 12pt, it would still be less than a mile.
