gigaparsec to parsec
Please provide values below to convert gigaparsec [Gpc] to parsec [pc], or change ↔.
gigaparsec [Gpc]
Definition: A unit of distance used in cosmology, equal to 1,000 megaparsecs, or about 3.26 billion light years.
Historyandorigin: The gigaparsec is used for describing the most vast distances in the observable universe.
CurrentUse: Applied in measuring the distance to the farthest known galaxies and the scale of the universe.
funfact: Distances to the most distant galaxies can be measured in gigaparsecs!
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 gigaparsec to parsec
1 gigaparsec [Gpc] = 1000000000 parsec [pc]
1 parsec [pc] = 9.999999999E-10 gigaparsec [Gpc]
we use cross multiplication method
gigaparsec [Gpc] → parsec [pc]
1 → 1000000000
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1000000000=1*x
by simplifying
x=1500000000
