Astronomical Length Scale Conversion

p
"""
Conversion of length units.
Available Units:
Metre, Kilometre, Megametre, Gigametre,
Terametre, Petametre, Exametre, Zettametre, Yottametre

USAGE :
-> Import this file into their respective project.
-> Use the function length_conversion() for conversion of length units.
-> Parameters :
    -> value : The number of from units you want to convert
    -> from_type : From which type you want to convert
    -> to_type : To which type you want to convert
