How to convert Light Years to Nanometers
Multiply the light years value by 9.461e+24: 1 ly = 9.461e+24 nm. Going the other way, 1 nm = 1.057e-25 ly, so divide by 9.461e+24 or use the Nanometers 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.
Nanometers (nm)
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. It is used for wavelengths of visible light (about 380 to 700 nm) and the feature sizes of computer chips.
