How to convert

1 lightyear (ly) = 5.8785E+12 mile (mi). Lightyear (ly) is a unit of Length used in Metric system. Mile (mi) is a unit of Length used in Standard system.

Lightyear: A Unit of Length

The lightyear is a large unit of length used to express astronomical distances and is equivalent to about 9.46 trillion kilometers (9.46 × 10^12 km), or 5.88 trillion miles (5.88 × 10^12 mi). As defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), a lightyear is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year (365.25 days). The lightyear is most often used when expressing distances to stars and other distances on a galactic scale, especially in non-specialist contexts and popular science publications.

In this article, we will explore the definition, history, usage and conversion of the lightyear as a unit of length.

Example Conversions of Lightyear to Other Units

The lightyear can be converted to other units of length by using different factors and formulas. Here are some examples of conversion for different types of units:

  • To convert a lightyear to kilometers, multiply by 9.46 × 10^12:

1 ly × 9.46 × 10^12 = 9.46 × 10^12 km

  • To convert a lightyear to miles, multiply by 5.88 × 10^12:

1 ly × 5.88 × 10^12 = 5.88 × 10^12 mi

  • To convert a lightyear to AU, multiply by 63,241:

1 ly × 63,241 = 63,241 AU

  • To convert a lightyear to parsecs, divide by 3.26:

1 ly / 3.26 = 0.31 pc

  • To convert a kilometer to lightyears, divide by 9.46 × 10^12:

1 km / 9.46 × 10^12 = 1.06 × 10^-13 ly

  • To convert a mile to lightyears, divide by 5.88 × 10^12:

1 mi / 5.88 × 10^12 = 1.70 × 10^-13 ly

  • To convert an AU to lightyears, divide by 63,241:

1 AU / 63,241 = 1.58 × 10^-5 ly

  • To convert a parsec to lightyears, multiply by 3.26:

1 pc × 3.26 = 3.26 ly

Mile: A Unit of Length

The mile is a unit of length that is equal to 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards. It is based on the older English unit of length that was used before the adoption of the metric system. The mile is also a derived unit in the British imperial and US customary systems of measurement. The symbol for mile is mi or m.

The mile is most commonly used when expressing distances on land or in air travel. The mile is also used for measuring speed, such as miles per hour (mph). The mile is sometimes distinguished from other types of miles, such as the nautical mile or the geographical mile, by using the term statute mile.

In this article, we will explore the definition, history, usage and conversion of the mile as a unit of length.

Example Conversions of Mile to Other Units

The mile can be converted to other units of length by using different factors and formulas. Here are some examples of conversion for different types of units:

  • To convert a mile to feet, multiply by 5,280:

1 mi x 5,280 = 5,280 ft

  • To convert a mile to yards, multiply by 1,760:

1 mi x 1,760 = 1,760 yd

  • To convert a mile to meters, multiply by 1,609.344:

1 mi x 1,609.344 = 1,609.344 m

  • To convert a mile to kilometers, multiply by 1.609344:

1 mi x 1.609344 = 1.609344 km

  • To convert a mile to nautical miles, divide by 1.150779:

1 mi / 1.150779 = 0.868976 nmi

  • To convert a mile to geographical miles, divide by 0.869:

1 mi / 0.869 = 1.151 mi

  • To convert a foot to miles, divide by 5,280:

1 ft / 5,280 = 0.000189 mi

  • To convert a yard to miles, divide by 1,760:

1 yd / 1,760 = 0.000568 mi

  • To convert a meter to miles, divide by 1,609.344:

1 m / 1,609.344 = 0.000621 mi

  • To convert a kilometer to miles, divide by 1.609344:

1 km / 1.609344 = 0.621371 mi

  • To convert a nautical mile to miles, multiply by 1.150779:

1 nmi x 1.150779 = 1.150779 mi

  • To convert a geographical mile to miles, multiply by 0.869:

1 mi x 0.869 = 0.869 mi
