About this conversion
The meter (m) is a unit of length in the metric (SI), commonly used for room and building dimensions and swimming pool lengths. The light-year (ly) belongs to the astronomical and is typically found in measurements related to distances to nearby stars and sizes of galaxies. By definition, one meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units, defined as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second. One light-year is the distance light travels in one Julian year in a vacuum, approximately 9.461 × 10¹⁵ meters. The conversion factor between these two units is 1.0570042385869968e-16: multiplying any value in m by this number gives the equivalent in ly. For example, 10 m equals 0.0000 ly. Going the other direction, 1 ly equals 9460700000000000 m. The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole.
