Calculation

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.

Nautical Miles

A nautical mile is a unit of measurement used in navigation and maritime contexts. It is based on the circumference of the Earth and is used for measuring distances at sea. One nautical mile is defined as one minute of latitude. Nautical miles are commonly used in navigation, aviation, and maritime operations. Charts and maps used in these fields often have distances measured in nautical miles. The use of nautical miles simplifies navigation calculations, especially over long distances, as it is based on a consistent measurement related to the Earth's size and shape.
