How to perform the main conversions involving length measurements

The conversion formulas are represented below:

Formula for Miles to Light-Years

ly = mi / 5.879x1012


Example: 30 Miles to Light-Years:

ly = mi / 5.879x1012

ly = 30 / 5.879x1012

ly = 5.103x10-12



Formula for Light-Years to Miles

mi = ly * 5.879x1012


Example: 2 Light-Years to Miles:

mi = ly * 5.879x1012

mi = 2 * 5.879x1012

mi = 11,757,250,746,154



Frequently Asked Questions about Length and Distance

1.5 Miles in Light Years

Considering that 1 Mile is equivalent to 1.701x10-13 Light Years, you can use a rule of three to obtain that 100 Miles are equivalent to 1500 Light Years.

  1 mi - 1.701x10-13 ly

1.5 mi - x

Apply the rule of three and obtain:

x mi = 1.5 * 1.701x10-13mily

x = 2.552x10-13 ly



100 Light Years equals how many Miles?

If every 1 Light Year equals 5,878,625,373,076.9 Miles, simply divide the quantity of Light Years (100) by 5.879x1012, and you will obtain that 100 Light Years are equivalent to 5.879x1014 miles. See the calculation below:

mi = ly * 5,878,625,373,076.9

mi = 100 * 5,878,625,373,076.9

mi = 5.879x1014
