What is a kiloparsec?
The kiloparsec is used for distances in space, where ordinary units run out of room. One kiloparsec equals 3.085678e+19 meters, so every conversion on this page starts from that single number.
Written as an everyday number it looks unwieldy, so astronomers work in scientific notation and in whichever unit keeps the numbers small for the job at hand. Converting kiloparsecs into meters or kilometers shows just how much space there is between objects in the sky.
In writing, the kiloparsec is usually shortened to "kpc". One kiloparsec is 3.085678e+19 meters, and that ratio is what every figure on this page is built from.
