Rod (rd). A rod (also called a pole or perch) is 16.5 feet (5.0292 m), an old land-measurement unit.
Parsec (pc). A parsec is about 3.26 light years and is used by astronomers for distances between stars.
There are 1.62985 × 10⁻¹⁶ parsecs in one rod.
Multiply the number of rods by 1.62985 × 10⁻¹⁶. For example, 10 rods equal 1.62985 × 10⁻¹⁵ parsecs.
One parsec equals 6.13552 × 10¹⁵ rods.
1.62985 × 10⁻¹³ parsecs. Other common values: 100 rods = 1.62985 × 10⁻¹⁴ parsecs and 10,000 rods = 1.62985 × 10⁻¹² parsecs.
