## Quick Example

```python
import lox_space as lox

# Use unit constants for readable code
angle = 45 * lox.deg
distance = 100 * lox.km
frequency = 2.4 * lox.GHz
velocity = 7.8 * lox.km_per_s
power = 10 * lox.W
temperature = 290 * lox.K

# Convert to specific units
angle_deg = angle.to_degrees()       # 45.0
distance_km = distance.to_kilometers()  # 100.0
freq_ghz = frequency.to_gigahertz()  # 2.4

# Convert to float (returns internal SI value)
angle_rad = float(angle)    # radians
distance_m = float(distance)  # meters

# Arithmetic
total = 100 * lox.km + 500 * lox.m   # Distance
delta = 45 * lox.deg - 10 * lox.deg  # Angle
scaled = 2.0 * distance              # Distance
```
