Conversion Formula

1 c = 3.17e-8 lys

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Speed of light = 299,792,458 meters per second
   1 Light year per second = 9,460,730,472,580,800 meters per second
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 c = (299,792,458 m/s) / (9,460,730,472,580,800 m/s/lys) = 3.17e-8 lys
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in c by 3.17e-8 to get the equivalent in lys

Example Conversion
