Converting from Light Second (ls) to Light Hour (lh) | Astronomy distance

What is Light Second (ls)

A Light Second (ls) is a unit of length in astronomy that represents the distance light travels in one second. It is used to measure large distances in space, where traditional units like kilometers or miles would be impractical.

What is Light Hour (lh)

A Light Hour (lh) is a unit of astronomical distance that signifies the distance light can travel in an hour. It is a larger unit compared to Light Second and is often used to express vast distances such as interstellar or intergalactic scales.

Conversion Formulas

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

Light Hours (lh)=Light Seconds (ls)×0.0002777778

Conversely, to convert from Light Hours to Light Seconds, the formula is:

Light Seconds (ls)=Light Hours (lh)×3600

Examples

1. Converting 14 Light Seconds to Light Hours:

14 ls=14×0.0002777778=0.003888889 lh

2. Converting 9 Light Hours to Light Seconds:

9 lh=9×3600=32400 ls

3. Converting 11 Light Hours to Light Seconds:

11 lh=11×3600=39600 ls

By using the provided conversion formulas and examples, you can easily perform conversions between Light Seconds and Light Hours for astronomical distances on this page.
