How to convert picometers to light years
1 picometer is equal to 1.057000834 × 10⁻²⁸ light years, and 1 light year is equal to 9.460730473 × 10²⁷ picometers. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
light years = picometers × 1.057000834 × 10⁻²⁸
light years = picometers ÷ 9.460730473 × 10²⁷Example: convert 1 pm to ly: 1 × 1.057000834 × 10⁻²⁸ = 1.057000834 × 10⁻²⁸ ly.

About the picometer
A picometer is 10⁻¹² meters. It's used for atomic and ionic radii and bond lengths; a hydrogen atom is about 50 pm across.
Symbol: pm · 1 pm = 1 × 10⁻¹² m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the light year
A light-year is the distance light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year (365.25 days): about 9.46 trillion km. The nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, is about 4.37 light-years away.
