light year to gigaparsec
Please provide values below to convert light year [ly] to gigaparsec [Gpc], or change ↔.
light year [ly]
Definition: The distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum, approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers.
Historyandorigin: First coined in the 19th century, the light-year was introduced to describe vast distances in the universe.
CurrentUse: Used by astronomers to express distances between stars and galaxies.
funfact: A light year is a measure of distance, not time!
gigaparsec [Gpc]
Definition: A unit of distance used in cosmology, equal to 1,000 megaparsecs, or about 3.26 billion light years.
Historyandorigin: The gigaparsec is used for describing the most vast distances in the observable universe.
CurrentUse: Applied in measuring the distance to the farthest known galaxies and the scale of the universe.
funfact: Distances to the most distant galaxies can be measured in gigaparsecs!

How to Convert light year to gigaparsec
1 light year [ly] = 3.066013938E-10 gigaparsec [Gpc]
1 gigaparsec [Gpc] = 3261563776.9 light year [ly]
we use cross multiplication method
light year [ly] → gigaparsec [Gpc]
1 → 3.066013938E-10
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*3.066013938E-10=1*x
by simplifying
x=4.599020907E-10
