Convert rods (rd) to light years (ly) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.

Rods (rd)

Light Years (ly)

1 rd = 5.3157e-16 ly

Full precision:5.3157e-16 ly

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 rods to light years, we divide by 1.8812e+15 because one light year equals exactly 1.8812e+15 rods.

1 light year = 1.8812e+15 rods

Since there are 1.8812e+15 rods in every light year, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 1.8812e+15 = 5.3157e-16 light years

So 1 rods = 5.3157e-16 light years.

✓Quick check: 5.3157e-16 × 1.8812e+15 = 1 rods

How to Convert Rods to Light Years

To convert rods to light years, divide the value by 1.8812e+15.

Light Years = Rods ÷ 1.8812e+15

1 light year = 1.8812e+15 rods

Tip: To convert light years back to rods, multiply by 1.8812e+15.

Example 1: 1 rd = 5.3157e-16 ly
1 ÷ 1.8812e+15 = 5.3157e-16

Example 2: 5 rd = 2.6579e-15 ly
5 ÷ 1.8812e+15 = 2.6579e-15

Example 3: 10 rd = 5.3157e-15 ly
10 ÷ 1.8812e+15 = 5.3157e-15

The rod (rd) is a unit of length in the historical system. One rod equals 5.0292 meters.

The light year (ly) is a unit of length in the astronomical system. One light year equals 9461000000000000 meters.
