Difference between Light-year and Open cluster

Light-year vs. Open cluster

The light-year is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and measures about 9.5 trillion kilometres or 5.9 trillion miles. An open cluster is a group of up to a few thousand stars that were formed from the same giant molecular cloud and have roughly the same age.
