| US Survey Chains (chUS) | Parsecs (pc) |
|---|---|
| 1 chUS | 6.51942 × 10⁻¹⁶ pc |
| 5 chUS | 3.25971 × 10⁻¹⁵ pc |
| 10 chUS | 6.51942 × 10⁻¹⁵ pc |
| 25 chUS | 1.62986 × 10⁻¹⁴ pc |
| 50 chUS | 3.25971 × 10⁻¹⁴ pc |
| 100 chUS | 6.51942 × 10⁻¹⁴ pc |
| 250 chUS | 1.62986 × 10⁻¹³ pc |
| 500 chUS | 3.25971 × 10⁻¹³ pc |
| 1,000 chUS | 6.51942 × 10⁻¹³ pc |
| 2,500 chUS | 1.62986 × 10⁻¹² pc |
| 5,000 chUS | 3.25971 × 10⁻¹² pc |
| 10,000 chUS | 6.51942 × 10⁻¹² pc |
| 100,000 chUS | 6.51942 × 10⁻¹¹ pc |
| 1,000,000 chUS | 6.51942 × 10⁻¹⁰ pc |
25 chUS × 6.51942 × 10⁻¹⁶ = 1.62986 × 10⁻¹⁴ pc
Try this example →250 chUS × 6.51942 × 10⁻¹⁶ = 1.62986 × 10⁻¹³ pc
Try this example →US survey chain (chUS). The US survey chain is 66 US survey feet, about 20.1168 m.
Parsec (pc). A parsec is about 3.26 light years and is used by astronomers for distances between stars.
There are 6.51942 × 10⁻¹⁶ parsecs in one US survey chain.
Multiply the number of US survey chains by 6.51942 × 10⁻¹⁶. For example, 10 US survey chains equal 6.51942 × 10⁻¹⁵ parsecs.
One parsec equals 1.53388 × 10¹⁵ US survey chains.
6.51942 × 10⁻¹³ parsecs. Other common values: 100 US survey chains = 6.51942 × 10⁻¹⁴ parsecs and 10,000 US survey chains = 6.51942 × 10⁻¹² parsecs.
