Converting from Light Year (ly) to Light Second (ls) | Astronomy distance

What is Light Year (ly)

A Light Year (ly) is a measurement of astronomical distance that represents the distance light travels in one year. Light travels at a constant speed of approximately 186,282 miles per second, which amounts to about 5.88 trillion miles in a year.

What is Light Second (ls)

A Light Second (ls) is the distance that light travels in one second. It is a much smaller unit compared to a Light Year, with 1 Light Second equaling about 186,282 miles.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between Light Years and Light Seconds are as follows:

• 1 (ly) = 31,557,600 (ls)
• 1 (ls) = 0.00000003168809 (ly)

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

Light Seconds=Light Years×31,557,600

To convert from Light Seconds to Light Years, use:

Light Years=Light Seconds×0.00000003168809

Examples

• 13 Light Years to Light Seconds:

13ly=410,248,800ls

• 15 Light Seconds to Light Years:

15ls=0.0000004753213ly

• 4 Light Years to Light Seconds:

4ly=126,230,400ls

This information provides a straightforward method for converting distances in astronomical measurements from Light Years to Light Seconds.
