Light years to miles formula
Definition of measures:
- Light year [ly] – it is a unit of length commonly used in astronomy. A light year measure is equal to the distance light travels in a vacuum in one year.
- Mile [mi] – a unit of length used today in Anglo-Saxon countries. Formerly a unit of length also used in other countries.
Metric system:
- 1 light year = 5878625373183 miles = 9460730472580044 meters.
- 1 mile = 5280 feed [ft] = 1609,344 meters [m].
