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