1 ly = 9.461e+21 μm
Full precision:9.461e+21 μm
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 light years to micrometers, we multiply by 9.461e+21 because one light year equals exactly 9.461e+21 micrometers.

1 light year = 9.461e+21 micrometers

Since each light year contains 9.461e+21 micrometers, we multiply our value by this factor:

1 × 9.461e+21 = 9.461e+21 micrometers

So 1 light years = 9.461e+21 micrometers.

Quick check: 9.461e+21 ÷ 9.461e+21 = 1 light years
