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.
petameter [Pm]
Definition: A petameter is a unit of length equal to 1 quadrillion 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 extremely large distances.
funfact: The prefix 'peta-' comes from the Greek word 'pente,' meaning 'five,' as it represents (10^{15}).

How to Convert light year to petameter
1 light year [ly] = 9.4607304726 petameter [Pm]
1 petameter [Pm] = 0.1057000834 light year [ly]
we use cross multiplication method
light year [ly] → petameter [Pm]
1 → 9.4607304726
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*9.4607304726=1*x
by simplifying
x=14.191095709
