How to convert light years to hectometers
1 light year is equal to 94,607,304,730,000 hectometers, and 1 hectometer is equal to 1.057000834 × 10⁻¹⁴ light years. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
hectometers = light years × 94,607,304,730,000
hectometers = light years ÷ 1.057000834 × 10⁻¹⁴Example: convert 1 ly to hm: 1 × 94,607,304,730,000 = 94,607,304,730,000 hm.

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.
