What it means

How far is that?

Light in vacuum: 299,792.458 km/s, exact by definition. Planet distances change with orbits; references are typical.

The math

How to convert km to ls

To convert kilometers to light-seconds, multiply by 3.336×10⁻⁶.

Example: 1 km × 3.336×10⁻⁶ = 3.336×10⁻⁶ ls.

In the other direction, 1 ls = 299,792 km.
