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.
