Like I said before, I'm not asking people to be able to define it as (3E8*60*60*24*365.24)m, only that they be familiar with the unit, that they know it to be a distance, and a very long one at that.

The question "How many light years is mars away?" indicates that the person asking knew it was a measure of distance.
What is the proper way to measure the distance to Mars?
