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