How to convert light years to poles
1 light year is equal to 1.881160119 × 10¹⁵ poles, and 1 pole is equal to 5.315868594 × 10⁻¹⁶ light years. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
poles = light years × 1.881160119 × 10¹⁵
poles = light years ÷ 5.315868594 × 10⁻¹⁶Example: convert 1 ly to pole: 1 × 1.881160119 × 10¹⁵ = 1.881160119 × 10¹⁵ pole.
