A Light Year (ly) is a unit of distance in astronomy that represents the distance that light travels in one year, which is equivalent to about 9.461 trillion kilometers or approximately 5.878 trillion miles.

Conversion Formulas

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

Light Years (ly)=Light Seconds (ls)×0.00000003168809

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

Light Seconds (ls)=Light Years (ly)×31557600

Examples

1. Converting 11 ls to ly:

11 ls=11×0.00000003168809=0.000000348569 ly

2. Converting 16 ly to ls:

16 ly=16×31557600=504921600 ls

3. Converting 14 ls to ly:

14 ls=14×0.00000003168809=0.0000004436332 ly
