Convert meter to parsec
Meter
The metre (Commonwealth spelling and BIPM spelling) or meter (American spelling) (from the French unit mètre, from the Greek noun μετρούν, "measure") is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit symbol is m. The metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, so the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km. In 1799, the metre was redefined in terms of a prototype metre bar (the actual bar used was changed in 1889). In 1960, the metre was redefined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86. In 1983, the current definition was adopted.
Parsec
The parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used in astronomy equal to the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond, approximately 3.0857×10¹⁶ metres or 3.26 light-years. It is derived from the technique of stellar parallax and is the standard unit for expressing distances to stars and other objects beyond the Solar System. The parsec is a non-SI unit accepted for use with the SI by the International Astronomical Union.
