Full precision:1.8812e+15 rd
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 light years to rods, we multiply by 1.8812e+15 because one light year equals exactly 1.8812e+15 rods.
1 light year = 1.8812e+15 rods
Since each light year contains 1.8812e+15 rods, we multiply our value by this factor:
1 × 1.8812e+15 = 1.8812e+15 rods
So 1 light years = 1.8812e+15 rods.
Quick check: 1.8812e+15 ÷ 1.8812e+15 = 1 light years
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 ly = 1.8812e+15 rd
1 × 1.8812e+15 = 1.8812e+15
1 × 1.8812e+15 = 1.8812e+15
Example 2: 5 ly = 9.4061e+15 rd
5 × 1.8812e+15 = 9.4061e+15
5 × 1.8812e+15 = 9.4061e+15
Example 3: 10 ly = 1.8812e+16 rd
10 × 1.8812e+15 = 1.8812e+16
10 × 1.8812e+15 = 1.8812e+16
