The formulas for conversion are represented below:
pc = km x 3,086x1013
Example: 1000 kilometers in parsec:
pc = km / 3,086x1013
pc = 1000 / 3,086x1013
pc = 3,240779x10-11
km = pc * 3,086x1013
Example: 10 parsec in kilometers:
km = pc * 3,086x1013
km = 10 * 3,086x1013
km = 3,086x1014
Considering that 1 kilometer is equivalent to 3.240779x10-14 parsec, you can use a rule of three to get that 10000 km equals 3.240779x10-10< /sup> parsec.
1 km - 3,240779x10-14 pc
10000 km - x
Apply the rule of three and get:
x km = 1500km pc
x = 3,240779x10-10 pc
If every 3,086x1013 kilometers we have 1 parsec, just multiply the amount of parsec (1) by 3,086x1013, so you will get 1 parsec equals approximately 3.0858x1013 km or 30856775812800 kilometers. Observe the calculation below:
km = pc * 3,086x1013
km = 1 * 3,086x1013
km = 3,08567758128x1013
km = 30856775812800
