Convert light year to attometer
Please provide values below to convert light year [ly] to attometer [am], or Convert attometer to light year.
1 ly = 9.4607e+33 am. To convert light year to attometer, multiply the value by 9.4607e+33; to go the other way, divide by it (1 am = 1.0570e-34 ly). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ly = 9.4607e+33 am
- 1 am = 1.0570e-34 ly
- 10 ly = 9.4607e+34 am
- 100 ly = 9.4607e+35 am
How to Convert Light Year to Attometer
1 ly = 9.46073047258e+33 am
Example: convert 15 ly to am:
15 ly = 15 × 9.46073047258e+33 am = 1.419109570887e+35 am

Light Year
A light-year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year.
History/Origin
The concept of the light-year as a unit of distance in astronomy emerged in the mid-19th century. The first recorded use of the term was in a German astronomical publication in 1851.
Current Use
The light-year is used to express distances to stars and other astronomical objects on a galactic and intergalactic scale, especially in popular science and non-specialist contexts.
Attometer
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.
Current Use
The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
