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