Converting from Kilometer (km) to Parsec (pc) | Astronomy distance

What is Kilometer (km)

Kilometer (km) is a unit of length commonly used in the metric system to measure distances. It is equal to 1000 meters and is used for measuring shorter astronomical distances.

What is Parsec (pc)

A Parsec (pc) is a unit of distance used in astronomy to measure the vast distances between celestial objects. It is the distance at which an object would have a parallax angle of one arcsecond, equivalent to about 3.26 light-years.
