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.
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.
