kiloparsec [kpc]
Definition: A kiloparsec is a unit of length equal to one thousand parsecs.
Historyandorigin: It is used in astronomy to describe large distances.
CurrentUse: It is used in astronomy to measure the distances within galaxies.
funfact: The prefix 'kilo-' comes from the Greek word 'khilioi,' meaning 'thousand.'
light year [ly]
Definition: A light year is the distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum, approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers.

CurrentUse: It is used in astronomy to measure the vast distances between stars and galaxies.
funfact: A light year is not a measure of time but of distance.

How to Convert kiloparsec to light year
1 kiloparsec [kpc] = 3261.5637769 light year [ly]
1 light year [ly] = 0.0003066014 kiloparsec [kpc]
we use cross multiplication method
kiloparsec [kpc] → light year [ly]
1 → 3261.5637769
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*3261.5637769=1*x
by simplifying
x=4892.3456654
