How to convert light years to dekameters
1 light year is equal to 946,073,047,300,000 dekameters, and 1 dekameter is equal to 1.057000834 × 10⁻¹⁵ light years. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
dekameters = light years × 946,073,047,300,000
dekameters = light years ÷ 1.057000834 × 10⁻¹⁵Example: convert 1 ly to dam: 1 × 946,073,047,300,000 = 946,073,047,300,000 dam.

About the light year
A light-year is the distance light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year (365.25 days): about 9.46 trillion km. The nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, is about 4.37 light-years away.
