How to convert light years to megameters
1 light year is equal to 9,460,730,473 megameters, and 1 megameter is equal to 1.057000834 × 10⁻¹⁰ light years. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
megameters = light years × 9,460,730,473
megameters = light years ÷ 1.057000834 × 10⁻¹⁰Example: convert 1 ly to Mm: 1 × 9,460,730,473 = 9,460,730,473 Mm.

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.
