Mil (mil). A mil, also called a thou, is one thousandth of an inch (0.0254 mm), used for thin films, wire and coatings.
Light year (ly). A light year is the distance light travels in one year, about 9.46 trillion kilometers.
There are 2.68478 × 10⁻²¹ light years in one mil.
Multiply the number of mils by 2.68478 × 10⁻²¹. For example, 10 mils equal 2.68478 × 10⁻²⁰ light years.
One light year equals 3.7247 × 10²⁰ mils.
2.68478 × 10⁻¹⁸ light years. Other common values: 100 mils = 2.68478 × 10⁻¹⁹ light years and 10,000 mils = 2.68478 × 10⁻¹⁷ light years.
