Converting from Light Second (ls) to Light Day (ld) | Astronomy Distance

What is Light Second (ls)

A Light Second (ls) is a unit of distance in astronomy that represents the distance light travels in one second. It is equivalent to approximately 299,792,458 meters.

What is Light Day (ld)

A Light Day (ld) is a unit of distance that represents the distance light travels in one day. It is equivalent to approximately 25,902,068,371,200 meters.

Conversion Formulas

To convert Light Seconds to Light Days, you can use the following formula:

1 ls=0.00001157407 ld

To convert Light Days to Light Seconds, you can use the following formula:

1 ld=86400 ls

Examples

1. Converting 15 Light Seconds to Light Days:

15×0.00001157407=0.0001736111 ld

2. Converting 9 Light Days to Light Seconds:

9×86400=777600 ls

3. Converting 8 Light Days to Light Seconds:

8×86400=691200 ls

By using the conversion formulas provided, you can easily convert distances from Light Seconds to Light Days and vice versa. This can be especially useful in astronomical calculations where vast distances are involved.
