Hand (hand). A hand is 4 inches (0.1016 m) and is still used to measure the height of horses.
Light year (ly). A light year is the distance light travels in one year, about 9.46 trillion kilometers.
There are 1.07391 × 10⁻¹⁷ light years in one hand.
Multiply the number of hands by 1.07391 × 10⁻¹⁷. For example, 10 hands equal 1.07391 × 10⁻¹⁶ light years.
One light year equals 9.31174 × 10¹⁶ hands.
1.07391 × 10⁻¹⁴ light years. Other common values: 100 hands = 1.07391 × 10⁻¹⁵ light years and 10,000 hands = 1.07391 × 10⁻¹³ light years.
