Convert Angstrom to Parsec
Enter the number of angstroms that you want to convert to parsecs.
How to Convert Angstroms to Parsecs
The angstrom and parsec are both units of length. By definition, 1 parsec equals exactly 3.086e26 angstroms. This means to convert angstroms to parsecs, you divide by 3.086e26.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 Å to parsecs:
We need to convert angstroms to parsecs
Since 1 pc = 3.086e26 Å, divide by 3.086e26
5 ÷ 3.086e26 = 1.62022035e-26
5 Å = 1.62022035e-26 pc

About These Units
Angstrom (Å)
An angstrom (Å) is a unit equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters or 0.1 nanometers. Angstroms measure atomic and molecular dimensions, crystal structures, and electromagnetic wavelengths. A hydrogen atom is about 1.2 Å in diameter. Named after physicist Anders Jonas Ångström.
Parsec (pc)
A parsec (pc) is an astronomical unit equal to approximately 3.26 light years or 3.086×10¹⁶ meters. Parsecs measure stellar and galactic distances using parallax. The Milky Way galaxy is about 30,000 parsecs in diameter. Kiloparsecs (kpc) and megaparsecs (Mpc) measure larger cosmic distances.
