About this conversion

The nanometer (nm) is a unit of length in the metric (SI), commonly used for visible light wavelengths (400–700 nm) and chip transistor node sizes. 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 nanometer is one billionth of a meter (10⁻⁹ m). 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 1.0570042385869969e-25: multiplying any value in nm by this number gives the equivalent in ly. For example, 10 nm equals 0.0000 ly. Going the other direction, 1 ly equals 9.460699999999998e+24 nm.
