Meter (m). The meter is the SI base unit of length, defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Parsec (pc). A parsec is about 3.26 light years and is used by astronomers for distances between stars.
There are 3.24078 × 10⁻¹⁷ parsecs in one meter.
Multiply the number of meters by 3.24078 × 10⁻¹⁷. For example, 10 meters equal 3.24078 × 10⁻¹⁶ parsecs.
One parsec equals 3.08568 × 10¹⁶ meters.
3.24078 × 10⁻¹⁴ parsecs. Other common values: 100 meters = 3.24078 × 10⁻¹⁵ parsecs and 10,000 meters = 3.24078 × 10⁻¹³ parsecs.
