About this conversion

The light-year (ly) is a unit of length in the astronomical, commonly used for distances to nearby stars and sizes of galaxies. The inch (in) belongs to the imperial / US customary and is typically found in measurements related to TV and monitor screen diagonals and US and UK clothing sizes. By definition, one light-year is the distance light travels in one Julian year in a vacuum, approximately 9.461 × 10¹⁵ meters. One inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, by international agreement since 1959. The conversion factor between these two units is 372468503937007900: multiplying any value in ly by this number gives the equivalent in in. For example, 10 ly equals 3724685039370078720.0000 in. Going the other direction, 1 in equals 0 ly. The inch was historically based on the width of a human thumb. Its exact metric equivalent (2.54 cm) was standardized internationally in 1959.
