Langley (flux) (ly) is a unit in the category of Energy flux. Langley (flux) (ly) has a dimension of MT^-3 where M is mass, and T is time. It can be converted to the corresponding standard SI unit W/m² by multiplying its value by a factor of 697.5.

Note that the seven base dimensions are M (Mass), L (Length), T (Time), Q (Temperature), N (Aamount of Substance), I (Electric Current), and J (Luminous Intensity).

Other units in the category of Energy flux include British Thermal Unit (IT) Per Hour Per Square Foot (Btu (IT)/h-ft²), British Thermal Unit (therm.) Per Hour Per Square Foot (Btu (therm.)/h-ft²), and Watt Per Square Meter (W/m²).
