Converting from Gigaparsec (Gpc) to Light Second (ls) | Astronomy distance

What is Gigaparsec (Gpc)

A Gigaparsec (Gpc) is a unit of astronomical distance equal to one billion parsecs, where one parsec is approximately 3.26 light-years. It is commonly used in cosmology to measure vast distances in the universe.

What is Light Second (ls)

A Light Second (ls) is the distance that light travels in one second, equivalent to approximately 299,792 kilometers or 186,282 miles. This unit is often utilized in scenarios where near-instantaneous communication or precise timing over long distances is required.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas between Gigaparsec (Gpc) and Light Second (ls) are as follows:

1 (Gpc)=102927100000000000 (ls)

1 (ls)=0.000000000000000009715612 (Gpc)

Examples

• 6 Gigaparsecs to Light Seconds

  • 6 Gpc * 102927100000000000 = 617562700000000000 ls

• 16 Light Seconds to Gigaparsecs

  • 16 ls * 0.0000000000000001554498 = 0.0000000000000001554498 Gpc

• 11 Gigaparsecs to Light Seconds

  • 11 Gpc * 102927100000000000 = 1132198000000000000 ls
