Convert light years (ly) to astronomical units (AU) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
To convert 1 light years to astronomical units, we multiply by 63241.98 because one light year equals exactly 63241.98 astronomical units.
Since each light year contains 63241.98 astronomical units, we multiply our value by this factor:
So 1 light years = 63241.98 astronomical units.
To convert light years to astronomical units, multiply the value by 63241.98.
1 light year = 63241.98 astronomical units
