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}).
light year [ly]
Definition: A light year is the distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum, approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers.

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 petameter to light year
1 petameter [Pm] = 0.1057000834 light year [ly]
1 light year [ly] = 9.4607304726 petameter [Pm]
we use cross multiplication method
petameter [Pm] → light year [ly]
1 → 0.1057000834
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.1057000834=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.1585501251
