3 ly = 2.8383e+18 cm
Full precision:2.8383e+18 cm
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 3 light years to centimeters, we multiply by 9.461e+17 because one light year equals exactly 9.461e+17 centimeters.
1 light year = 9.461e+17 centimeters
Since each light year contains 9.461e+17 centimeters, we multiply our value by this factor:
3 × 9.461e+17 = 2.8383e+18 centimeters
So 3 light years = 2.8383e+18 centimeters.
Quick check: 2.8383e+18 ÷ 9.461e+17 = 3 light years
