light year to gigameter
Please provide values below to convert light year [ly] to gigameter [Gm], or change ↔.
light year [ly]
Definition: A light year is the distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum, approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers.
Historyandorigin: The concept of the light year was introduced in the early 20th century to describe astronomical distances.
CurrentUse: It is used in astronomy to measure the vast distances between stars and galaxies.
funfact: A light year is not a measure of time but of distance.
gigameter [Gm]
Definition: A gigameter is a unit of length equal to 1 billion meters.
Historyandorigin: It is part of the metric system, introduced in the late 20th century.
CurrentUse: It is used in theoretical physics and cosmology to describe very large distances.
funfact: The prefix 'giga-' comes from the Greek word 'gigas,' meaning 'giant,' as it represents (10^{9}).

How to Convert light year to gigameter
1 light year [ly] = 9460730.4726 gigameter [Gm]
1 gigameter [Gm] = 1.057000834E-7 light year [ly]
we use cross multiplication method
light year [ly] → gigameter [Gm]
1 → 9460730.4726
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*9460730.4726=1*x
by simplifying
x=14191095.709
