Gigameter To Parsec (Gm To Pc) Converter
Calculation Info
The Gigameter To Parsec (Gm To Pc) Converter is a helpful tool designed to convert distances measured in gigameters (Gm) into parsecs (Pc). This is useful for understanding astronomical distances in more familiar units. A gigameter (Gm) is a unit of length equal to one billion meters, or 1,000,000,000 meters.
On the other hand, a parsec (Pc) is a larger unit used in astronomy to measure vast distances between celestial objects. One parsec is approximately equal to 3.086 x 1016 meters. It is defined as the distance at which one astronomical unit (the average distance from Earth to the Sun) subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
To convert gigameters to parsecs, you can use the following formula:
Parsecs (Pc) = Gigameters (Gm) × (1,000,000,000 meters / 1 gigameter) ÷ 3.086 x 1016 meters.
Simplified, this becomes:
Pc = Gm × (1 x 109) / 3.086 x 1016.
This allows you to easily determine how many parsecs correspond to a given number of gigameters.
