kilometer to parsec
Please provide values below to convert kilometer [km] to parsec [pc], 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!
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 kilometer to parsec
1 kilometer [km] = 3.240779289E-14 parsec [pc]
1 parsec [pc] = 30856775812800 kilometer [km]
we use cross multiplication method
kilometer [km] → parsec [pc]
1 → 3.240779289E-14
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*3.240779289E-14=1*x
by simplifying
x=4.861168934E-14
