What is the Formula to convert Kilometers to Parsecs?

The formula to convert given length from Kilometers to Parsecs is:

Length(Parsecs) = Length(Kilometers) / 30856775819144.652

Substitute the given value of length in kilometers, i.e., Length(Kilometers) 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 a high-end electric car has a maximum range of 400 kilometers on a single charge.
Convert this range from kilometers to Parsecs.

Answer:

Given:

The length in kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = 400

Formula:

The formula to convert length from kilometers to parsecs is:

Length(Parsecs) = Length(Kilometers) / 30856775819144.652

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Kilometers) = 400 in the above formula.

Length(Parsecs) = 400 / 30856775819144.652

Length(Parsecs) = 1.29631e-11

Final Answer:

Therefore, 400 km is equal to 1.29631e-11 pc.

The length is 1.29631e-11 pc, in parsecs.

2

Consider that a private helicopter has a flight range of 150 kilometers.
Convert this range from kilometers to Parsecs.

Answer:

Given:

The length in kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = 150

Formula:

The formula to convert length from kilometers to parsecs is:

Length(Parsecs) = Length(Kilometers) / 30856775819144.652

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Kilometers) = 150 in the above formula.

Length(Parsecs) = 150 / 30856775819144.652

Length(Parsecs) = 4.8612e-12

Final Answer:

Therefore, 150 km is equal to 4.8612e-12 pc.

The length is 4.8612e-12 pc, in parsecs.

Kilometers

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.

The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.

Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.

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.
