What is the Formula to convert Astronomical Units to Parsecs?
The formula to convert given length from Astronomical Units to Parsecs is:
Substitute the given value of length in astronomical units, i.e., Length(Astronomical Units) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in parsecs, i.e., Length(Parsecs).
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider that the average distance from Earth to the Sun is 1 astronomical unit (AU). Convert this distance from astronomical units to Parsecs.
Answer:
Given:
The length in astronomical units is:
Length(Astronomical Units) = 1
Formula:
The formula to convert length from astronomical units to parsecs is:
Substitute given weight Length(Astronomical Units) = 1 in the above formula.
Length(Parsecs) = 1 / 206264.80626709532
Length(Parsecs) = 0.0000048481368106
Final Answer:
Therefore, 1 AU is equal to 0.0000048481368106 pc.
The length is 0.0000048481368106 pc, in parsecs.
2
Consider that the distance from Earth to Mars at its closest approach is approximately 0.5 astronomical units (AU). Convert this distance from astronomical units to Parsecs.
Answer:
Given:
The length in astronomical units is:
Length(Astronomical Units) = 0.5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from astronomical units to parsecs is:
Substitute given weight Length(Astronomical Units) = 0.5 in the above formula.
Length(Parsecs) = 0.5 / 206264.80626709532
Length(Parsecs) = 0.0000024240684053
Final Answer:
Therefore, 0.5 AU is equal to 0.0000024240684053 pc.
The length is 0.0000024240684053 pc, in parsecs.

Astronomical Units
An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure distances within our solar system. One astronomical unit is equivalent to approximately 149,597,870.7 kilometers or about 92,955,807.3 miles.
The astronomical unit is defined as the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Astronomical units are used to express distances between celestial bodies within the solar system, such as the distances between planets and their orbits. They provide a convenient scale for describing and comparing distances in a way that is more manageable than using kilometers or miles.
Parsecs
A parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used in astronomy. One parsec is approximately 3.26 light-years or 3.086 × 10¹³ kilometers.
The term parsec comes from "parallax of one arcsecond." It is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
Parsecs are commonly used to measure large distances between astronomical objects outside our solar system, such as between stars or galaxies.
