Please provide values below to convert petameter [Pm] to light year [ly], or change ↔.
petameter [Pm]
Definition: A unit of length equal to 1,000 terameters or 10^15 meters.
Historyandorigin: The petameter is used in scientific fields for measuring very large distances.
CurrentUse: Though not commonly used, it finds its place in measuring distances within cosmic science.
funfact: A petameter could describe the distance between the Earth and distant star systems!
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!

How to Convert petameter to light year
1 petameter [Pm] = 1.057000834E-7 light year [ly]
1 light year [ly] = 9460730.4726 petameter [Pm]
we use cross multiplication method
petameter [Pm] → light year [ly]
1 → 1.057000834E-7
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.057000834E-7=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.585501251E-7
