One goad is equal to 54 inches or 1.5 yards (1.3716 meters). A goad was originally a spear; later it was a pointed rod used for prodding animals to get a move on. The unit must have originated as the length of such an instrument. Unit Definition (light year) The distance that light, moving at a constant speed of 300,000 km/s, travels in one year.
