About These Units
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.
Cable (cable)
A cable is a nautical unit equal to 1/10 nautical mile, 185.2 meters, or approximately 608 feet. Cables are used in maritime navigation for measuring short distances at sea. Ten cables equal one nautical mile.
