megameter to light year
Please provide values below to convert megameter [Mm] to light year [ly], or change ↔.
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}).
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.

How to Convert megameter to light year
1 megameter [Mm] = 1.057000834E-10 light year [ly]
1 light year [ly] = 9460730472.6 megameter [Mm]
we use cross multiplication method
megameter [Mm] → light year [ly]
1 → 1.057000834E-10
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.057000834E-10=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.585501251E-10
