How to convert light years to miles (US survey)
1 light year is equal to 5,878,613,616,000 miles (US survey), and 1 mile (us survey) is equal to 1.701081352 × 10⁻¹³ light years. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
miles (US survey) = light years × 5,878,613,616,000
miles (US survey) = light years ÷ 1.701081352 × 10⁻¹³Example: convert 1 ly to mi (US): 1 × 5,878,613,616,000 = 5,878,613,616,000 mi (US).
