Converting from Gigaparsec (Gpc) to Parsec (pc) | Astronomy distance

What is Gigaparsec (Gpc)

A Gigaparsec (Gpc) is a unit of astronomical distance equal to one billion parsecs. It is commonly used to measure vast distances in the universe, especially in cosmology and astrophysics.

What is Parsec (pc)

A Parsec (pc) is a standard unit of astronomical distance commonly used in astronomy. It is equivalent to around 3.26 light-years or about 3.086x10^13 kilometers. Parsec is derived from the concept of parallax and is extensively used to measure distances to stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between Gigaparsec (Gpc) and Parsec (pc) is as follows:

• 1 (Gpc) = 1000000000 (pc)
• 1 (pc) = 0.000000001 (Gpc)

Examples

1. Converting 13 Gigaparsecs (Gpc) to Parsecs (pc):

13(Gpc)=13×1000000000=13000000000(pc)

2. Converting 9 Parsecs (pc) to Gigaparsecs (Gpc):

9(pc)=9×0.000000001=0.000000009(Gpc)

3. Converting 12 Gigaparsecs (Gpc) to Parsecs (pc):

12(Gpc)=12×1000000000=12000000000(pc)

4. Converting 13 Parsecs (pc) to Gigaparsecs (Gpc):

13(pc)=13×0.000000001=0.000000013(Gpc)

By using the provided conversion formulas, you can easily convert distances between Gigaparsec (Gpc) and Parsec (pc) for astronomical purposes.
