How to convert Light Years to Micrometers
Multiply the light years value by 9.461e+21: 1 ly = 9.461e+21 µm. Going the other way, 1 µm = 1.057e-22 ly, so divide by 9.461e+21 or use the Micrometers to Light Years converter.
About these units
Light Years (ly)
A light-year is the distance light travels through a vacuum in one Julian year, about 9.461 trillion kilometers. Despite the name it measures distance, not time, and is used for stars and galaxies.
Micrometers (µm)
A micrometer, or micron, is one millionth of a meter. Cells, fine particles and the thickness of thin films are typically measured in micrometers.
