This calculator allows you to convert from Kilometer to Parsec and in a reverse direction. To convert from Kilometer to Parsec, enter the amount of Kilometer into the first input and to convert from Parsec to Kilometer, enter the amount of Parsec into the second input.
1 Kilometer = 3.2407792896664E-14 Parsec
To convert Kilometer to Parsec: Every 1 Kilometer equals 3.2407792896664E-14 Parsec. For example, 100 Kilometer equal 100 * 3.2407792896664E-14 = 3.2407792896664E-12 Parsec and so on..

In 1793, The distance from the equator to the North Pole was measured and divided by 10 million. The result of the previous process was called as a meter.
Nowadays, meter or metre is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI).
Meter or metre is a metric measurement slightly longer than a yard. It is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Distance measures length. For example, the distance of a road is how long the road is.
Meter is used as a measure of distance across the globe. Distance expresses the length. For example, the distance of a road is how long the road is.
However most of countries use meter to measure length, US is the primary exception which is using imperial system
What is kilometer?
The kilometer is a unit of length equals to 1,000 meters. Its abbreviation is km.
It is now the measurement unit used officially for expressing distances between geographical places. The U.S. and Great Britain are the only two developed nations use miles rather than kilometers on their road signs.
What is "parsec"?
In the space scale, distances can't be expressed by meters or feet. Professional astronomers use the parsec unit to express these incredible distances. The parsec is a unit for expressing distances between stars and galaxies. One parsec equals 3.26 light-years, which is equivalent to 3.09 × 1013 km.
Parsec has a special way to measure distance, it depends on trigonometry. It is defined as the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
The parsec distance of an object is the reciprocal of its parallax in seconds of arc.
It is amazing to know that when we look at the night sky, we can see stars which are nearly a distance of 500 parsecs of the Sun.
There is a star is called Proxima Centauri. It exists within another solar system called Alpha Centauri triple-star system. It has a parallax of 0.769 second of arc which means it is 1.30 parsec far from us.
