How to convert light years to links (US survey)
1 light year is equal to 4.702890893 × 10¹⁶ links (US survey), and 1 link (us survey) is equal to 2.12635169 × 10⁻¹⁷ light years. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
links (US survey) = light years × 4.702890893 × 10¹⁶
links (US survey) = light years ÷ 2.12635169 × 10⁻¹⁷Example: convert 1 ly to li (US): 1 × 4.702890893 × 10¹⁶ = 4.702890893 × 10¹⁶ li (US).
