5 ly = 1.5329 pc
Full precision:1.5329 pc
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 5 light years to parsecs, we divide by 3.2618 because one parsec equals exactly 3.2618 light years.
1 parsec = 3.2618 light years
Since there are 3.2618 light years in every parsec, we divide our value by this factor:
5 ÷ 3.2618 = 1.5329 parsecs
So 5 light years = 1.5329 parsecs.
Quick check: 1.5329 × 3.2618 = 5 light years
