How to convert Light-year to Kiloparsec

Conversion factor and calculation steps from Light-year (ly) to Kiloparsec (kpc).

Conversion logic

Each unit is defined via the base unit (meter (m)). The value is first converted to the base unit, then to the selected unit.

1 ly = 9.46073047e15 m

1 kpc = 3.08567758e19 m

1 ly × 9.46073047e15 = 9.46073047e15 m

9.46073047e15 m ÷ 3.08567758e19 = 0.000306601393786 kpc
