5 ly = 4.7305e+18 cm
Full precision:4.7305e+18 cm
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 5 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:
5 × 9.461e+17 = 4.7305e+18 centimeters
So 5 light years = 4.7305e+18 centimeters.
Quick check: 4.7305e+18 ÷ 9.461e+17 = 5 light years
