Try this example →Light year (ly). A light year is the distance light travels in one year, about 9.46 trillion kilometers.
Nanometer (nm). A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, used for wavelengths of light and the size of molecules.
There are 9.46073 × 10²⁴ nanometers in one light year.
Multiply the number of light years by 9.46073 × 10²⁴. For example, 10 light years equal 9.46073 × 10²⁵ nanometers.
One nanometer equals 1.057 × 10⁻²⁵ light years.
1.13529 × 10²⁶ nanometers. Other common values: 5 light years = 4.73037 × 10²⁵ nanometers and 100 light years = 9.46073 × 10²⁶ nanometers.
