parsec to kiloparsec
Please provide values below to convert parsec [pc] to kiloparsec [kpc], or change ↔.
parsec [pc]
Definition: A parsec is a unit of length used in astronomy, equal to about 3.26 light years.
Historyandorigin: The term 'parsec' comes from 'parallax of one arcsecond.'
CurrentUse: It is used in astronomy to measure the distances to stars.
funfact: One parsec is approximately 3.26 light years.
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.'

How to Convert parsec to kiloparsec
1 parsec [pc] = 0.001 kiloparsec [kpc]
1 kiloparsec [kpc] = 1000 parsec [pc]
we use cross multiplication method
parsec [pc] → kiloparsec [kpc]
1 → 0.001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0015
