Conversion Formula
1 yd = 9.665e-17 lylightyear = yard ÷ 10346675415573052100000 ÷ 10346675415573052 = 0.000100000 yard = 0.000 lightyear
100,000 yards is equivalent to 0.0000 light-years. This is because a light-year is an incredibly large unit of distance used for astronomical scales.
A light-year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year (365.25 days). It's approximately 9.46 trillion kilometers or 5.88 trillion miles.
This is due to the immense difference in scale. 100,000 yards is a manageable distance on Earth, while a light-year is used to measure distances between stars and galaxies, which are unimaginably vast.
Directly converting 100,000 yards to light-years isn't typically done in practical astronomy because the resulting number is practically zero. However, it's useful for illustrating the vast scale differences between terrestrial and cosmic distances.
