Calculation
Kilometers
Kilometers are a unit of length in the metric system, representing one thousand meters. They are commonly used for expressing longer distances, such as travel distances between cities or countries. The kilometer became widely adopted as part of the metric system's introduction during the late 18th century.
Parsecs
A parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of astronomical distance commonly used in astronomy to measure large distances between celestial objects. The term parsec is a combination of parallax and arcsecond, and its definition is based on the observed shift in position (parallax) of a star as seen from Earth over the course of a year. Parsecs are often used to express distances to nearby stars, galaxies, and other astronomical objects. In this context, they provide a convenient way to describe vast cosmic distances without dealing with extremely large numbers of light-years.
