🧮 Formula

Parsecs to Typographic Points
pt = pc × 8.7468 × 10¹⁹
Typographic Points to Parsecs
pc = pt × 1.14327 × 10⁻²⁰

Where

  • pc = the length in parsecs
  • pt = the length in typographic points
Every unit here is defined by its length in meters, so the conversion factor is (meters per parsec) ÷ (meters per typographic point).
