Examples
1
Consider that the distance from the Sun to the Oort Cloud is estimated to be around 0.5 petameters. Convert this distance from petameters to Lightyears.
Answer:
Given:
The length in petameters is:
Length(Petameters) = 0.5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from petameters to lightyears is:
Substitute given weight Length(Petameters) = 0.5 in the above formula.
Length(Lightyears) = 0.5 / 9.460730472801123
Length(Lightyears) = 0.0528500417
Final Answer:
Therefore, 0.5 Pm is equal to 0.0528500417 ly.
The length is 0.0528500417 ly, in lightyears.
2
Consider that the distance from the Milky Way to the Andromeda Galaxy is approximately 2.5 petameters. Convert this distance from petameters to Lightyears.
Answer:
Given:
The length in petameters is:
Length(Petameters) = 2.5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from petameters to lightyears is:
Substitute given weight Length(Petameters) = 2.5 in the above formula.
Length(Lightyears) = 2.5 / 9.460730472801123
Length(Lightyears) = 0.2643
Final Answer:
Therefore, 2.5 Pm is equal to 0.2643 ly.
The length is 0.2643 ly, in lightyears.

Petameters
A petameter (Pm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One petameter is equivalent to 1,000,000,000,000,000 meters or approximately 621,371,192,237,333 miles.
The petameter is defined as one quadrillion meters, making it a measurement for extraordinarily large distances, often used in theoretical and cosmological contexts.
Petameters are used in fields such as astronomy and cosmology to describe distances on a scale larger than terameters. They provide a convenient way to express distances across immense regions of space, such as those encompassing multiple galaxies or even superclusters of galaxies.
Lightyears
A light-year is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure vast distances. One light-year is equivalent to approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers or about 5.879 trillion miles.
A light-year is defined by the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, which is about 9.461 Γ 10^12 kilometers.
Light-years are used to measure distances between stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects. They provide a convenient way to express astronomical distances, making it easier to understand the scale of the universe.
