light year to megameter
Please provide values below to convert light year [ly] to megameter [Mm], 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.
megameter [Mm]
Definition: A megameter is a unit of length equal to 1 million meters.
Historyandorigin: It is part of the metric system, introduced in the late 18th century.
CurrentUse: It is used in theoretical physics and cosmology to describe very large distances.
funfact: The prefix 'mega-' comes from the Greek word 'megas,' meaning 'great,' as it represents (10^{6}).

How to Convert light year to megameter
1 light year [ly] = 9460730472.6 megameter [Mm]
1 megameter [Mm] = 1.057000834E-10 light year [ly]
we use cross multiplication method
light year [ly] → megameter [Mm]
1 → 9460730472.6
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*9460730472.6=1*x
by simplifying
x=14191095709
