Please provide values below to convert meter [m] to light year [ly], or change ↔.
meter [m]
Definition: The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Historyandorigin: The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a meridian. It was redefined several times, most recently in 1983 using the speed of light.
CurrentUse: The meter is widely used in scientific and everyday contexts around the world.
funfact: The word 'meter' comes from the Greek word 'metron,' meaning 'measure.'
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 meter to light year
1 meter [m] = 1.057000834E-16 light year [ly]
1 light year [ly] = 9460730472580044 meter [m]
we use cross multiplication method
meter [m] → light year [ly]
1 → 1.057000834E-16
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.057000834E-16=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.585501251E-16
