Parsec (pc). A parsec is about 3.26 light years and is used by astronomers for distances between stars.
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.
There are 3.08568 × 10¹⁶ meters in one parsec.
Multiply the number of parsecs by 3.08568 × 10¹⁶. For example, 10 parsecs equal 3.08568 × 10¹⁷ meters.
One meter equals 3.24078 × 10⁻¹⁷ parsecs.
3.70281 × 10¹⁷ meters. Other common values: 5 parsecs = 1.54284 × 10¹⁷ meters and 100 parsecs = 3.08568 × 10¹⁸ meters.
