Examples
1
Consider that the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is about 1.3 parsecs from Earth. Convert this distance from parsecs to Fathoms.
Answer:
Given:
The length in parsecs is:
Length(Parsecs) = 1.3
Formula:
The formula to convert length from parsecs to fathoms is:
Substitute given weight Length(Parsecs) = 50 in the above formula.
Length(Fathoms) = 50 × 16872690190782072
Length(Fathoms) = 843634509539103600
Final Answer:
Therefore, 50 pc is equal to 843634509539103600 fath.
The length is 843634509539103600 fath, in fathoms.

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.
Fathoms
A fathom is a unit of length used primarily in maritime contexts to measure water depth. One fathom is equivalent to 6 feet or approximately 1.8288 meters.
The fathom is defined as 6 feet, making it a convenient measurement for nautical and maritime applications, particularly for depth soundings and underwater measurements.
Fathoms are commonly used in navigation, fishing, and marine activities to describe the depth of water. The unit provides a practical measurement for underwater distances and has historical significance in maritime practices.
