1 ly = 9.461e+24 nm
Full precision:9.461e+24 nm
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 light years to nanometers, we multiply by 9.461e+24 because one light year equals exactly 9.461e+24 nanometers.

1 light year = 9.461e+24 nanometers

Since each light year contains 9.461e+24 nanometers, we multiply our value by this factor:

1 × 9.461e+24 = 9.461e+24 nanometers

So 1 light years = 9.461e+24 nanometers.

Quick check: 9.461e+24 ÷ 9.461e+24 = 1 light years

How to Convert Light Years to Nanometers
