How to convert light years to rods (US survey)
1 light year is equal to 1.881156357 × 10¹⁵ rods (US survey), and 1 rod (us survey) is equal to 5.315879226 × 10⁻¹⁶ light years. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
rods (US survey) = light years × 1.881156357 × 10¹⁵
rods (US survey) = light years ÷ 5.315879226 × 10⁻¹⁶Example: convert 1 ly to rd (US): 1 × 1.881156357 × 10¹⁵ = 1.881156357 × 10¹⁵ rd (US).
