Converting from Light Second (ls) to Parsec (pc) | Astronomy distance

What is Light Second (ls)

A Light Second (ls) is the distance that light travels in one second. In astronomical terms, this unit is commonly used to measure vast distances in space.

What is Parsec (pc)

A Parsec (pc) is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure the distance to objects outside our solar system. It is defined as the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Light Second (ls) to Parsec (pc), you can use the following formula:

Parsec (pc)=Light Second (ls)×0.000000009715612

To convert from Parsec (pc) to Light Second (ls), use the formula:

Light Second (ls)=Parsec (pc)×102927100

Examples

1. Converting 6 Light Seconds to Parsecs:

6 ls=6×0.000000009715612=0.00000005829367 pc

2. Converting 17 Parsecs to Light Seconds:

17 pc=17×102927100=1749761000 ls

3. Converting 3 Light Seconds to Parsecs:

3 ls=3×0.000000009715612=0.00000002914684 pc
