5 pc = 16.3091 ly
Full precision:16.3091 ly
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 5 parsecs to light years, we multiply by 3.2618 because one parsec equals exactly 3.2618 light years.
1 parsec = 3.2618 light years
Since each parsec contains 3.2618 light years, we multiply our value by this factor:
5 × 3.2618 = 16.3091 light years
So 5 parsecs = 16.3091 light years.
Quick check: 16.3091 ÷ 3.2618 = 5 parsecs
