How to convert

1 parsec (pc) = 1.91735E+13 mile (mi). Parsec (pc) is a unit of Length used in Metric system. Mile (mi) is a unit of Length used in Standard system.

Parsec: A Unit of Length

A parsec is a unit of length that is often used in astronomy to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System. It is approximately equal to 3.26 light-years or 206,265 astronomical units (au), which are the average distances from the Earth to the Sun. One parsec is about 30.9 trillion kilometres or 19.2 trillion miles.

How to convert parsec

To convert parsecs to other units of length, we can use the following conversion factors:

• 1 pc = 3.0857 × 10^¹⁶ m
• 1 pc = 1.9174 × 10^¹³ mi
• 1 pc = 2.06265 × 10^⁵ au
• 1 pc = 3.26156 ly

To convert other units of length to parsecs, we can use the inverse of these conversion factors:

• 1 m = 3.24078 × 10^^-17 pc
• 1 mi = 5.21553 × 10^^-14 pc
• 1 au = 4.84814 × 10^^-6 pc
• 1 ly = 0.306601 pc

• How many parsecs are in one light-year?

To convert one light-year to parsecs, we divide by the conversion factor:

1 ly / (3.26156 ly/pc) = 0.306601 pc

Mile: A Unit of Length

The mile is a unit of length that is equal to 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards. It is based on the older English unit of length that was used before the adoption of the metric system. The mile is also a derived unit in the British imperial and US customary systems of measurement. The symbol for mile is mi or m.

The mile is most commonly used when expressing distances on land or in air travel. The mile is also used for measuring speed, such as miles per hour (mph). The mile is sometimes distinguished from other types of miles, such as the nautical mile or the geographical mile, by using the term statute mile.

In this article, we will explore the definition, history, usage and conversion of the mile as a unit of length.

Example Conversions of Mile to Other Units

The mile can be converted to other units of length by using different factors and formulas. Here are some examples of conversion for different types of units:

• To convert a mile to feet, multiply by 5,280:

1 mi x 5,280 = 5,280 ft

• To convert a mile to yards, multiply by 1,760:

1 mi x 1,760 = 1,760 yd

• To convert a mile to meters, multiply by 1,609.344:

1 mi x 1,609.344 = 1,609.344 m

• To convert a mile to kilometers, multiply by 1.609344:

1 mi x 1.609344 = 1.609344 km

• To convert a mile to nautical miles, divide by 1.150779:

1 mi / 1.150779 = 0.868976 nmi

• To convert a mile to geographical miles, divide by 0.869:

1 mi / 0.869 = 1.151 mi

• To convert a foot to miles, divide by 5,280:

1 ft / 5,280 = 0.000189 mi

• To convert a yard to miles, divide by 1,760:

1 yd / 1,760 = 0.000568 mi

• To convert a meter to miles, divide by 1,609.344:

1 m / 1,609.344 = 0.000621 mi

• To convert a kilometer to miles, divide by 1.609344:

1 km / 1.609344 = 0.621371 mi

• To convert a nautical mile to miles, multiply by 1.150779:

1 nmi x 1.150779 = 1.150779 mi

• To convert a geographical mile to miles, multiply by 0.869:

1 mi x 0.869 = 0.869 mi
