How to convert fathoms (US survey) to light years
1 fathom (us survey) is equal to 1.933046991 × 10⁻¹⁶ light years, and 1 light year is equal to 5.173179982 × 10¹⁵ fathoms (US survey). To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
light years = fathoms (US survey) × 1.933046991 × 10⁻¹⁶
light years = fathoms (US survey) ÷ 5.173179982 × 10¹⁵Example: convert 1 ftm (US) to ly: 1 × 1.933046991 × 10⁻¹⁶ = 1.933046991 × 10⁻¹⁶ ly.
