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.

Yards

A yard (symbol: yd) is a unit of length commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. One yard is equal to 0.9144 meters.

The yard originated from various units used in medieval England. Its current definition is based on the international agreement of 1959, which standardized it to exactly 0.9144 meters.

Yards are often used to measure distances in sports fields, textiles, and land. Despite the global shift to the metric system, the yard remains in use in these countries.
