To convert US survey rods to light years, multiply the value by 5.31588 × 10⁻¹⁶. To go the other way, multiply light years by 1.88116 × 10¹⁵ to get US survey rods.
| US Survey Rods (rdUS) | Light Years (ly) |
|---|---|
| 1 rdUS | 5.31588 × 10⁻¹⁶ ly |
| 5 rdUS | 2.65794 × 10⁻¹⁵ ly |
| 10 rdUS | 5.31588 × 10⁻¹⁵ ly |
| 25 rdUS | 1.32897 × 10⁻¹⁴ ly |
| 50 rdUS | 2.65794 × 10⁻¹⁴ ly |
| 100 rdUS | 5.31588 × 10⁻¹⁴ ly |
| 250 rdUS | 1.32897 × 10⁻¹³ ly |
| 500 rdUS | 2.65794 × 10⁻¹³ ly |
| 1,000 rdUS | 5.31588 × 10⁻¹³ ly |
| 2,500 rdUS | 1.32897 × 10⁻¹² ly |
| 5,000 rdUS | 2.65794 × 10⁻¹² ly |
| 10,000 rdUS | 5.31588 × 10⁻¹² ly |
| 100,000 rdUS | 5.31588 × 10⁻¹¹ ly |
| 1,000,000 rdUS | 5.31588 × 10⁻¹⁰ ly |
25 rdUS × 5.31588 × 10⁻¹⁶ = 1.32897 × 10⁻¹⁴ ly
Try this example →250 rdUS × 5.31588 × 10⁻¹⁶ = 1.32897 × 10⁻¹³ ly
Try this example →US survey rod (rdUS). The US survey rod is 16.5 US survey feet, about 5.0292 m.
Light year (ly). A light year is the distance light travels in one year, about 9.46 trillion kilometers.
There are 5.31588 × 10⁻¹⁶ light years in one US survey rod.
Multiply the number of US survey rods by 5.31588 × 10⁻¹⁶. For example, 10 US survey rods equal 5.31588 × 10⁻¹⁵ light years.
One light year equals 1.88116 × 10¹⁵ US survey rods.
5.31588 × 10⁻¹³ light years. Other common values: 100 US survey rods = 5.31588 × 10⁻¹⁴ light years and 10,000 US survey rods = 5.31588 × 10⁻¹² light years.
