Typographic Points to Parsecs: the quick answer
To convert typographic points to parsecs, multiply the value by 1.14327 × 10⁻²⁰. To go the other way, multiply parsecs by 8.7468 × 10¹⁹ to get typographic points.
To convert typographic points to parsecs, multiply the value by 1.14327 × 10⁻²⁰. To go the other way, multiply parsecs by 8.7468 × 10¹⁹ to get typographic points.
| Typographic Points (pt) | Parsecs (pc) |
|---|---|
| 1 pt | 1.14327 × 10⁻²⁰ pc |
| 5 pt | 5.71637 × 10⁻²⁰ pc |
| 10 pt | 1.14327 × 10⁻¹⁹ pc |
| 25 pt | 2.85819 × 10⁻¹⁹ pc |
| 50 pt | 5.71637 × 10⁻¹⁹ pc |
| 100 pt | 1.14327 × 10⁻¹⁸ pc |
| 250 pt | 2.85819 × 10⁻¹⁸ pc |
| 500 pt | 5.71637 × 10⁻¹⁸ pc |
| 1,000 pt | 1.14327 × 10⁻¹⁷ pc |
| 2,500 pt | 2.85819 × 10⁻¹⁷ pc |
| 5,000 pt | 5.71637 × 10⁻¹⁷ pc |
| 10,000 pt | 1.14327 × 10⁻¹⁶ pc |
| 100,000 pt | 1.14327 × 10⁻¹⁵ pc |
| 1,000,000 pt | 1.14327 × 10⁻¹⁴ pc |
25 pt × 1.14327 × 10⁻²⁰ = 2.85819 × 10⁻¹⁹ pc
Try this example →250 pt × 1.14327 × 10⁻²⁰ = 2.85819 × 10⁻¹⁸ pc
Try this example →Typographic point (pt). A typographic point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.3528 mm), used for font sizes.
Parsec (pc). A parsec is about 3.26 light years and is used by astronomers for distances between stars.
There are 1.14327 × 10⁻²⁰ parsecs in one typographic point.
Multiply the number of typographic points by 1.14327 × 10⁻²⁰. For example, 10 typographic points equal 1.14327 × 10⁻¹⁹ parsecs.
One parsec equals 8.7468 × 10¹⁹ typographic points.
1.14327 × 10⁻¹⁷ parsecs. Other common values: 100 typographic points = 1.14327 × 10⁻¹⁸ parsecs and 10,000 typographic points = 1.14327 × 10⁻¹⁶ parsecs.
