Converting from Light Year (ly) to Gigaparsec (Gpc) | Astronomy Distance

What is Light Year (ly)

A Light Year (ly) is a unit of distance used in astronomy to measure the distance that light travels in one year. Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second, which is approximately 9,461 billion kilometers per year.

What is Gigaparsec (Gpc)

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

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Light Year (ly) to Gigaparsec (Gpc), the following conversion formula can be used: Gpc=ly×0.0000000003066014

To convert from Gigaparsec (Gpc) to Light Year (ly), the formula is: ly=Gpc×3261564000

Examples

1. Converting 7 ly to Gpc: 7 ly = 7 * 0.0000000003066014 = 0.00000000214621 Gpc

2. Converting 8 ly to Gpc: 8 ly = 8 * 0.0000000003066014 = 0.000000002452811 Gpc

3. Converting 17 ly to Gpc: 17 ly = 17 * 0.0000000003066014 = 0.000000005212224 Gpc

4. Converting 7 Gpc to ly: 7 Gpc = 7 * 3261564000 = 22830950000 ly

5. Converting 8 Gpc to ly: 8 Gpc = 8 * 3261564000 = 26092510000 ly

6. Converting 17 Gpc to ly: 17 Gpc = 17 * 3261564000 = 55446580000 ly
