Answer and Explanation:

Most of the distances in the galaxy are measured in light years instead of meter because the distances in galaxy are very large and it is very difficult to measure in meters and light year is the largest unit of distance so it is very easy to measure large distances in light year so we prefer light year instead of meters for measuring distances in galaxy.
