Light years (ly) to kilometers (km)

Light years (ly) to kilometers (km) converter allows you to calculate the number of kilometers [km] by entering of Light years [ly]. See also kilometers into light years calculation.

Light year (ly)

Light year – this unit is used primarily in astronomy. Its length is simply equivalent to the distance light travelled in a vacuum in 1 year. To better visualize the value of this measure, an approximate value of 9.5 trillion kilometers can be given.

Kilometer (km)

Kilometer – is an easy-to-use multiple of a meter – the basic SI unit. Converting a kilometer into meters we get the value of 1000 m. A kilometer is a very frequently used measure of length, especially in relation to road signs. Even in the USA, where a mile has been used for a long time, the signage gradually changes to kilometers.
