Try this example →Light year (ly). A light year is the distance light travels in one year, about 9.46 trillion kilometers.
Barleycorn (bc). The barleycorn is one third of an inch (about 8.47 mm), historically the length of a grain of barley.
There are 1.1174 × 10¹⁸ barleycorns in one light year.
Multiply the number of light years by 1.1174 × 10¹⁸. For example, 10 light years equal 1.1174 × 10¹⁹ barleycorns.
One barleycorn equals 8.94931 × 10⁻¹⁹ light years.
1.34089 × 10¹⁹ barleycorns. Other common values: 5 light years = 5.58702 × 10¹⁸ barleycorns and 100 light years = 1.1174 × 10²⁰ barleycorns.
