astronomical unit to parsec
Please provide values below to convert astronomical unit [AU] to parsec [pc], or change ↔.
astronomical unit [AU]
Definition: A unit of length used to measure distances within our solar system, defined as the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 149.6 million kilometers.
Historyandorigin: The concept of the astronomical unit was introduced in the 19th century as a standard for measuring celestial distances.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in astronomy to describe distances between celestial bodies within our solar system.
funfact: One AU is equivalent to about 93 million miles!
parsec [pc]
Definition: A unit of length used in astronomy, equal to about 3.26 light years, or approximately 3.086 × 10^13 kilometers.
Historyandorigin: The parsec was coined in the 1910s, derived from the words 'parallax' and 'arcsecond'.
CurrentUse: Commonly used by astronomers to measure distances to stars and galaxies outside our solar system.
funfact: A parsec is based on the measurement of the parallax angle of a star.

How to Convert astronomical unit to parsec
1 astronomical unit [AU] = 0.0000048481 parsec [pc]
1 parsec [pc] = 206264.80625 astronomical unit [AU]
we use cross multiplication method
astronomical unit [AU] → parsec [pc]
1 → 0.0000048481
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0000048481=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0000072722
