Is rope an internationally recognized unit of length?

No, rope is an informal descriptor for length without standardization and varies based on context.

What does one light year represent?

One light year is the distance that light travels in vacuum in one Julian year, approximately 9.4607 × 10^15 metres.

Can this conversion be used for precise scientific measurements?

No, due to the informal nature of rope length, this conversion is mainly conceptual and not suitable for exact scientific use.
