Kiloparsecs

A kiloparsec (kpc) is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure astronomical distances. One kiloparsec is equivalent to 3,262 light-years or approximately 3.086 × 10^16 meters.

The kiloparsec is defined as one thousand parsecs, where one parsec is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.

Kiloparsecs are used to measure large distances between celestial objects, such as the size of galaxies or the distance between galactic structures. They provide a convenient scale for expressing vast distances in the universe.

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.
