Convert Astronomical unit to Light year

Unit definitions

Astronomical unit

An astronomical unit is the average distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Sun.

Light year

A light year is equal to the distance light travels in a Julian year ($365.25$ days). It is exactly $9\,460\,730\,472\,580\,800$ meters.

How to convert Astronomical unit to Light year

$$\text{Length}_{\text{ly}} = \text{Length}_{\text{ua}} \cdot 0.00001581250740982065847572284179086802$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $40.0\ \text{ua}$ to $\text{ly}$.

$$\text{Length}_{\text{ly}} = 40.0 \cdot 0.00001581250740982065847572284179086802$$

$$\text{Length}_{\text{ly}} = 0.000633$$

$$\therefore \ 40.0\ \text{ua} = 0.000633 \ \text{ly}$$

Example 2

Convert $75.0\ \text{ua}$ to $\text{ly}$.

$$\text{Length}_{\text{ly}} = 75.0 \cdot 0.00001581250740982065847572284179086802$$

$$\text{Length}_{\text{ly}} = 0.001186$$

$$\therefore \ 75.0\ \text{ua} = 0.001186 \ \text{ly}$$

Example 3

Convert $115.0\ \text{ua}$ to $\text{ly}$.

$$\text{Length}_{\text{ly}} = 115.0 \cdot 0.00001581250740982065847572284179086802$$

$$\text{Length}_{\text{ly}} = 0.001818$$

$$\therefore \ 115.0\ \text{ua} = 0.001818 \ \text{ly}$$

Example 4

Convert $135.0\ \text{ua}$ to $\text{ly}$.

$$\text{Length}_{\text{ly}} = 135.0 \cdot 0.00001581250740982065847572284179086802$$

$$\text{Length}_{\text{ly}} = 0.002135$$

$$\therefore \ 135.0\ \text{ua} = 0.002135 \ \text{ly}$$

Example 5

Convert $160.0\ \text{ua}$ to $\text{ly}$.

$$\text{Length}_{\text{ly}} = 160.0 \cdot 0.00001581250740982065847572284179086802$$

$$\text{Length}_{\text{ly}} = 0.00253$$

$$\therefore \ 160.0\ \text{ua} = 0.00253 \ \text{ly}$$
