How to convert X-units to light years
1 x-unit is equal to 1.059199396 × 10⁻²⁹ light years, and 1 light year is equal to 9.441092999 × 10²⁸ X-units. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
light years = X-units × 1.059199396 × 10⁻²⁹
light years = X-units ÷ 9.441092999 × 10²⁸Example: convert 1 xu to ly: 1 × 1.059199396 × 10⁻²⁹ = 1.059199396 × 10⁻²⁹ ly.
