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