Chain (ch). A chain is 66 feet (20.1168 m), a surveying unit; 80 chains make one mile.
Parsec (pc). A parsec is about 3.26 light years and is used by astronomers for distances between stars.
There are 6.51941 × 10⁻¹⁶ parsecs in one chain.
Multiply the number of chains by 6.51941 × 10⁻¹⁶. For example, 10 chains equal 6.51941 × 10⁻¹⁵ parsecs.
One parsec equals 1.53388 × 10¹⁵ chains.
6.51941 × 10⁻¹³ parsecs. Other common values: 100 chains = 6.51941 × 10⁻¹⁴ parsecs and 10,000 chains = 6.51941 × 10⁻¹² parsecs.
