🧮 Formula

Parsecs to Astronomical Units
AU = pc × 206,265
Astronomical Units to Parsecs
pc = AU × 4.84814 × 10⁻⁶

Where

  • pc = the length in parsecs
  • AU = the length in astronomical units
Every unit here is defined by its length in meters, so the conversion factor is (meters per parsec) ÷ (meters per astronomical unit).
