🧮 Formula

Millimeters to Light Years
ly = mm × 1.057 × 10⁻¹⁹
Light Years to Millimeters
mm = ly × 9.46073 × 10¹⁸

Where

  • mm = the length in millimeters
  • ly = the length in light years
Every unit here is defined by its length in meters, so the conversion factor is (meters per millimeter) ÷ (meters per light year).
