kilometer to kiloparsec
Please provide values below to convert kilometer [km] to kiloparsec [kpc], or change ↔.
kilometer [km]
Definition: A unit of length in the metric system, equal to 1,000 meters.
Historyandorigin: The kilometer is derived from the metric system, based on the meter, which was established in 1795 by the French.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in most countries around the world to measure distances on land.
funfact: The kilometer is widely used in everyday measurements, especially in road signs for distances!
kiloparsec [kpc]
Definition: A unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to 1,000 parsecs or about 3,260 light years.
Historyandorigin: The kiloparsec is a standard distance unit used in measuring the scale of the Milky Way and other galaxies.
CurrentUse: Used to measure the size of galaxies and the distances between them.
funfact: Kiloparsecs are used to describe galactic structures like the Milky Way's spiral arms!

How to Convert kilometer to kiloparsec
1 kilometer [km] = 3.240779289E-17 kiloparsec [kpc]
1 kiloparsec [kpc] = 30856775812799588 kilometer [km]
we use cross multiplication method
kilometer [km] → kiloparsec [kpc]
1 → 3.240779289E-17
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*3.240779289E-17=1*x
by simplifying
x=4.861168934E-17
