3 ly = 2.8383e+16 m
Full precision:2.8383e+16 m
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 3 light years to meters, we multiply by 9.461e+15 because one light year equals exactly 9.461e+15 meters.
1 light year = 9.461e+15 meters
Since each light year contains 9.461e+15 meters, we multiply our value by this factor:
3 × 9.461e+15 = 2.8383e+16 meters
So 3 light years = 2.8383e+16 meters.
Quick check: 2.8383e+16 ÷ 9.461e+15 = 3 light years
