About this conversion

The nautical mile (nmi) is a unit of length in the nautical / aviation, commonly used for maritime navigation and aviation route planning. 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 nautical mile is exactly 1,852 meters, corresponding to one minute of arc of latitude. 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 1.957571849863118e-13: multiplying any value in nmi by this number gives the equivalent in ly. For example, 10 nmi equals 0.0000 ly. Going the other direction, 1 ly equals 5108369330453.563477 nmi.
