Just to get a more convenient number.

  1 centimeter per year is the same as 0.000000000317 meter per second.

Measured in centimeters per year, you get a number that's much easier
to write down, remember, and tell other people about.

Exactly the same reason that we describe the speed of a snail in
feet per minute, not miles per hour.

The electromagnetic spectrum, gives the overall distribution of electromagnetic radiation by the  frequency or wavelength. All EM waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, but over a wide range of frequencies, wavelengths, and photon energies.

Visible light wavelengths cover the range of approximately 0.4 to 0.7 μm. electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can see is the Visible light. Visible light is a form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, along with radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and microwaves. the wavelengths that are visible to most human eyes is generally known as Visible light
