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.

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.
