About these units

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.

Inches

An inch (symbol: in) is a unit of length used mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. One inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters.

The inch has origins in ancient times, originally based on the width of a human thumb. Its current definition, established in 1959, is exactly 2.54 centimeters.

Inches are commonly used to measure smaller lengths and distances, such as screen sizes and fabric lengths. Despite the widespread adoption of the metric system, the inch remains in use in these countries.
